The Making of Informal States: Statebuilding in Northern Cyprus and Transdniestria (Rethinking Peace and Conflict Studies)

Using the cases of Northern Cyprus and Transdniestria, the author examines state-building as practiced by informal states. Exploring symbolic and economic dimensions of state-building projects and using insights from political sociology, she investigates how they function under circumstances of non-recognition.
