Summary/Abstract: In recent years, there are some states that are not legally recognized but actively involved in alternative political mappings. These states are seriously challenging the existing system because they maintain their presence in international platforms. Some of these political formations or entities have a certain level of international recognition, while some of which have not been recognized yet. Politicians in these political formations organize referendums within their geographical boundaries, declare their independence and even make foreign policy efforts. Following the developments in the late 1980s and early 1990s, the issue of unrecognized states has attracted many scholars. Many of those scholars continue to find new terms for these political formations, to discuss their place in the international system, or to put these formations in different categories in international law. However, these state-like entities or formations that do not conform to the classical framework appear to be a major problem in the international system. Taking the sovereignty issue of states facing with recognition, this article aims to discuss the problem of recognition of these states in the international system.
