{"product_id":"unrecognized-states-nina-caspersen-9780745653433","title":"Unrecognized States: The Struggle for Sovereignty in the Modern International System","description":"\u003cp\u003eUnrecognized 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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eYet 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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIdeal for students and scholars of global politics, peace and conflict studies, \u003ci\u003eUnrecognized States \u003c\/i\u003eoffers a much needed and engaging account of the development of unrecognized states in the modern international system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nina Caspersen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 074565343X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780745653433\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Polity Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/12\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.70d","brand":"Nina Caspersen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44120140480767,"sku":"9780745653433","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3d748eac-8b7f-404c-897f-3e365d388b3f.jpg?v=1687412764","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/unrecognized-states-nina-caspersen-9780745653433","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
