In my latest book review, I discuss @gezimvisoka.bsky.social & @rameshg.bsky.social “Sub-State Recognition: The Politics of Recognition from Below”, a powerful challenge to the state-centric orthodoxy of recognition and a major contribution to sovereignty studies. www.tandfonline.com/eprint/RRISX...
