International relations; International law of territory & statehood

Despite being proven ineffective as a coercive tool or deterrent, the international community has actively withheld recognition in numerous instances of territorial conquest since the 1930s. Joseph O'Mahoney systematically analyses 21 case studies

including the Manchurian Crisis, the Turkish invasion of Cyprus and Russia's annexation of Crimea

to explore why so many states have adopted a policy of non-recognition of the spoils of war.

By drawing on historical sources including recently declassified archival documents, he evaluates states' decision-making. He develops a new theory for non-recognition as a symbolic sanction aimed at reproducing common knowledge of the rules of international behaviour.
