With a specific focus on the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic, and Kosovo, original data is presented, collected in English in a single work for the first time. Viktoria Potapkina presents an analysis and comparison of contested states from an internal perspective, looking at the processes that help legitimize such entities from within and creating support for their ongoing existence. The work strives to fill a gap in the literature on contested states, as well as to contribute to the overall understanding of nation and state building, state formation, and sovereignty. It provides a new way of looking at the puzzle that contested states are, offering insight into why they still exist in their current forms. 606 $aKosovo 606 $aTransnistria 606 $aCyprus 606 $aNation Building 606 $aNationenbildung 606 $aZypern 606 $aTransnistrien 606 $aRepublik Moldau 615 4$aKosovo 615 4$aTransnistria 615 4$aCyprus 615 4$aNation Building 615 4$aNationenbildung 615 4$aZypern 615 4$aTransnistrien 615 4$aRepublik Moldau 676 $a956.9304 702 $aKeil$b Soeren$4edt 702 $aDzankic$b Jelena$4edt 702 $aPotapkina$b Viktoria$4aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910960597203321 996 $aNation Building in Contested States$94413846 997 $aUNINA
