How do states prevent the recognition of territories that have
unilaterally declared independence? At a time when the issue of
secession is becoming increasingly significant on the world stage,
this is the first book to consider this crucial question. Analysing
the efforts of the governments of Serbia, Georgia, and Cyprus to
prevent the international recognition of Kosovo, South Ossetia,
Abkhazia, and northern Cyprus the work draws on in depth interviews
with a number of leading policy makers to explain how each of the
countries has designed, developed, and implemented its counter
secession strategies. After explaining how the principle of the
territorial integrity of states has tended to take precedence over
the right of self-determination, it examines the range of ways
countries facing a separatist threat can prevent recognition by
other states and considers the increasingly important role played
by international and regional organisations, especially the United
Nations, in the recognition process. Additionally, it shows how
forms of legitimisation or acknowledgement are also central
elements of any counter-recognition process, and why steps to
prevent secessionist entities from participating in major sporting
and cultural bodies are given so much attention. Finally, it
questions the effects of these counter recognition efforts on
attempts to solve these territorial conflicts. Drawing on history,
politics, and international law this book is the first and only
comprehensive account of this increasingly important field of
foreign policy.
