Defining Statehood: Law, Legitimacy, and Global Power

The definition of statehood remains one of the most complex and contested questions in international law and global politics. While the 1933 Montevideo Convention offers a four-part framework—population, territory, government, and capacity for international relations—real-world statehood is shaped just as much by recognition, legitimacy, and geopolitical power. In today’s multipolar world, where contested territories, partial recognition, and non-state actors challenge traditional norms, how do we define what it means to be a state? Join us for a virtual panel discussion featuring leading experts in international law, diplomacy, and global governance. Together, we’ll explore: ✅ Competing theories of sovereignty—declarative vs. constitutive ✅ The role of recognition and effective governance in state legitimacy ✅ How legal frameworks are adapting to new global realities ✅ The impact of these debates on foreign policy and conflict resolution Whether you're a legal scholar, policy professional, student of international relations, or simply curious about how the world defines its borders and actors—this conversation is for you.
