Description

Originally published in 1998, this Routledge Revivals edition examines the phenomenon of de facto statehood in contemporary international relations. The book explores how de facto states differ fundamentally from quasi-states: whilst quasi-states possess formal international recognition through UN representation and diplomatic status, they often lack effective governance capacity. Conversely, de facto states command real territorial control and provide genuine governmental functions despite lacking international legitimacy. This critical distinction reshapes understanding of state viability, sovereignty, and the mechanisms through which political entities gain legitimacy in the modern international system. The work analyses how de facto states operate within international society and the complexities arising from their contested status in global politics.

Key Features

International Society and the De Facto State examines the distinction between quasi-states with UN recognition and de facto states with actual territorial control.

Originally published in 1998, this Routledge edition provides foundational analysis of statehood concepts in international relations theory.

The book explores how de facto states function as viable governing entities whilst lacking formal international legitimacy and diplomatic recognition.

Routledge Revivals edition makes this influential work accessible to contemporary scholars studying state formation and international society.
