De facto states - otherwise known as 'contested states', 'unrecognised states', 'partially recognised states' or 'states with limited recognition' - have become a real source of fascination for many working on statehood, secession and independence. However, while the concept of de facto statehood is easy to grasp, it is incredibly difficult to define which territories qualify as de facto states - let alone put together a single definitive list of them. In this video, I explain why.
Welcome to Independent Thinking. A channel dedicated to international relations, independence disputes, secession and the origins of countries.
De facto states are now generally understood to be territories that have state-like qualities, but are not members of the United Nations. However, beyond that, there is little agreement about which territories qualify. There are now a plethora of entities that would claim to be regarded as de facto states, including, but not limited to: Kosovo, Palestine, Western Sahara, Northern Cyprus, Transnistria, Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Nagorno-Karabakh, Taiwan, Somaliland and Kurdistan. However, few scholars agree on which territories really qualify as de facto states and which don't. In this video, I try to explain the various problems involved with trying to draw up a definitive list of de facto states.
