Non-recognized States are a widespread and politically sensitive de facto phenomenon in international politics, raising numerous questions from both a public international law and private law perspective. The present book deals with rarely analysed questions on how States deal with legal issues of private law arising with regard to non-recognized States and what issues of international trade and investment law arise in such cases. The book takes the non-recognized States that emerged in the post-Soviet area after 1990/1991 as examples, but also makes references to other non-recognized States. The book is written from a comparative perspective, giving room to authors from various States and non-recognized States (state-like entities) alike.

Recent developments have led to the disappearance of three non-recognized States in the region. In this regard, the book may also be interesting as a source of information that has already disappeared or will probably soon disappear from the Internet. Further, the book is highly relevant for the remaining non-recognized States in the region, while also offering a source of inspiration for private law (including civil procedure) and investment law aspects concerning non-recognized States in general.

Dieser Band vereint Beiträge zu einer interdisziplinären Ringvorlesung des Zentrums für Osteuropa-Studien der Universität Kiel, die verschiedene Facetten der europäisch-russischen Beziehungen beleuchtet, teilweise auch mit kontrastierenden Wertungen.

Russland ist einerseits Teil Europas, andererseits Weltmacht mit globalen Interessen. Die Beziehungen zwischen (West-)Europa und Russland berühren viele Ebenen des politischen und gesellschaftlichen Lebens und oszillierten in der Geschichte zwischen Zusammenarbeit und kriegerischen Auseinandersetzungen. Gerade auf den letzten Jahren der Spannungen sowie auf dem gemeinsamen Wunsch, die Beziehungen wieder ins Positivere zu wenden, liegt ein besonderer Akzent der versammelten Beiträge.
