Unilateral secession, international recognition, and great power contestation

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Theoretical and empirical work on the international recognition of aspiring states is still relatively sparse, even though recognition plays a fundamental role in shaping whether new states emerge and the outcome of secessionist conflicts.34 We propose a theory that emphasizes the role of great power competition and leverage on recognition. It suggests that great power competition, rather than other factors, is a key determinant of international recognition in cases of unilateral secession. However, the influence of great power competition and particular great power laverage on recognition is time-limited, and decays quite rapidly soon after the declaration of unilateral secession. Mutual recognition is the cornerstone of sovereignty in the international system. Without extensive international recognition, aspiring states cannot enjoy the status and privileges reserved for states. Given the numerous active secessionist movements around the world, and a growing number of aspiring states with contested patterns of recognition, the results may apply more broadly than might appear at first glance – exactly how broadly is a question that will have to be determined by future research and world affairs.
