Unrecognized states are places that do not exist in international politics; they are state-like entities that have achieved de facto independence, but have failed to gain widespread international recognition. Since the Cold-War, unrecognized states have been involved in conflicts over sovereign statehood in the Balkans, the former Soviet Union, South Asia, the Horn of Africa, and the South Pacific; some of which elicited major international crises and intervention, including the use of armed force.
Yet they remain subject to many myths and simplifications. Drawing on a number of contemporary and historical cases, from Nagorno Karabakh and Somaliland to Taiwan, this timely new book provides a comprehensive analysis of unrecognized states. It examines their origins, the factors that enable them to survive and explores their likely future trajectories. But it is not just a book about unrecognized states; it is a book about sovereignty and statehood; one which does not shy way from addressing crucial issues such as how these anomalies survive in a system of sovereign states and how the context of non-recognition affects their attempts to build effective state-like entities.
Ideal for students and scholars of global politics, peace and conflict studies, Unrecognized States offers a much needed and engaging account of the development of unrecognized states in the modern international system.

Description du produit
Revue de presse
Political Studies Review
"The real strength of this book is that Caspersen takes unrecognised states on their own merits as subjects in their own right."
From the Heart of Europe
"An extremely interesting study and an invaluable addition to the literature on unrecognised states."
LSE Review of Books
"A theoretically well–grounded, empirically extremely rich, and highly policy relevant analysis of the dynamics of unrecognised states in the international system. This book sets the standard in a debate that will remain on the international security agenda for years to come."
Stefan Wolff, University of Birmingham
"With empirical detail and theoretical verve, Nina Caspersen explores a perplexing feature of contemporary global politics: the persistence of countries that have achieved de facto sovereignty but lack international recognition. Caspersen provides a rich tour of this neglected aspect of international affairs and shows convincingly why not–quite–countries ought to be of even greater concern to scholars and policy practitioners."
Charles King, Georgetown University
"A fascinating study of an important topic which has not received the attention it deserves. Drawing on significant fieldwork, this book is original, ambitious, and a model of clarity. Caspersen′s focus is contemporary and her scope is global. A contribution to both comparative politics and international relations."
Sumantra Bose, London School of Economics
"A welcome contribution to the literature on sovereignty and statehood. Theoretically informed, historically rich and sensitive to variations among cases, this clear and lively book is particularly strong on the interconnections between internal and external dynamics in the development of statehood without recognition."
Scott Pegg, Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis

However at the same time, this work has a number of problems:
First, Caspersen's definition of "unrecognized state" remains rather open and ambiguous given the examples she provides. Stemming from what appears to be more familiar scholarship with breakaway entities of the former Soviet Union (i.e. Nagorno-Karabakh, Abkhazia, South Ossetia), she makes the argument that recognitions are crucial to the survival of unrecognized states, even though NK possess none, while Abkhazia and S. Ossetia possess no more than three to four each. This is compounded by her occasional inclusion of Northern Cyprus and Somaliland, none of which possess any active foreign policies of becoming independent states as they seem to rather favor extending favorable status quos that perpetuate their quasi independence.
Second, most of the theoretical and contextual analysis Caspersen utilizes to describe unrecognized states could be applied to what is possibly the best example of one: Kosovo. Yet for whatever reason, she tends to almost ignore Kosovo in her comparative analysis altogether. Whether this is because Kosovo is recognized by the United States and possess one of the largest amounts of international recognitions (second only to the Palestinian Territories, which she also occasionally throws in), or whether she just tends to assume Kosovo is a sovereign state (she occasionally classifies it as a "borderline case" without any further explanation) this may be the biggest weakness in her work, and reveals, what I think is her limited experience with breakaway entities in the Balkans and former Yugoslavia. This is furthered by her puzzling decision to include Republika Srpska Krajina (1991 - 1995), which according to her assumptions qualifies as an unrecognized state, even though Krajina's leadership never made any other proclamations beyond allying with Yugoslavia/Serbia and remained overwhelmingly dependent on Belgrade. She frequently uses Krajina as an example of an "unrecognized state" that failed, but the theoretical framework of unrecognized states she provides does not qualify Krajina as such. At times, I found myself reading her own theoretical framework on diplomatic, economic, constitutional, and security-related issues pertaining to unrecognized states and found her trying to force any example other than the obvious choice of Kosovo into her narrative.
Third, her proposed solutions for conflict resolution are more framed within conjecture instead of empirical evidence. To date, no unrecognized state has managed to overcome its stalemate and achieve full statehood. Yet the possible scenarios she offers assumes a number of theoretical factors she laid out in previous chapters (parent state weakness, patron state support, unrecognized state's unwillingness to compromise) are simply and suddenly absent.
Thus I have to give the book mixed reviews. What it carries in existing literature review and theoretical framework is, unfortunately, weakened by seemingly haphazard examples and a rather anticlimactic conclusion. Again, a critically important work for beginning one's research, but there is a lot that is either overlooked, or ignored.
