This book analyzes how de facto states-including Nagorno Karabakh, Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Transnistria, Kosovo, the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic, Somaliland, and Taiwan-have developed without recognition of sovereignty from the international community.
Reviews / Votes
Seth's book is primarily presented as a detailed synopsis of the most high-profile de facto states in the world today, rather than a contribution to theoretical debates on recognition and sovereignty. It is certainly successful in this aim and will doubtless be a useful resource for those engaged with the debates about these 'fascinating places' * International History Review *More details
