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.
Michael J. Seth is professor of history at James Madison University.
Chapter 1: A World of States Chapter 2: Mountain Republic: Nagorno Karabakh (Artsakh) Chapter 3: Breakaway States from a Breakaway State: Abkhazia and South Ossetia Chapter 4: Shoestring of Europe: Transnistria Chapter 5: Born of Ethnic Cleansing: Kosovo Chapter 6: Divided Island: Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus Chapter 7: State in Waiting: Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic Chapter 8: Not Being Somalia: Somaliland Chapter 9: One China, Two Countries: Taiwan Chapter 10: Not Quite De Facto States Conclusion: What Can We Learn from De Facto States?
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 *
