This comprehensive book examines the history and importance of three fundamental ideas underlying the concept of statehood: effectiveness, recognition and legitimacy. It explores the analytical and historical genesis of these concepts, as well as their practical application in navigating relationships between states.

Alexander Orakhelashvili examines the theoretical developments and state and judicial practices relating to the key concepts of effectiveness, recognition and legitimacy. Through detailed case studies, he explores the history of the ideas that inform the contemporary discourse on statehood in international law. Presenting a range of diverse and divergent views, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the modern concept of statehood and how this has come into fruition.

Students and scholars of public international law, legal theory and law and politics will benefit greatly from The Essence and Reality of Statehood. It is also a vital resource for academics in political theory, international relations and general jurisprudence, as well as practitioners of international law.
