This book reconsiders the long accepted state based approach to jurisdiction in international law.It argues that states are not the only subjects that can exercise jurisdiction. Drawing on the experiences of territorial non state entities (TNSEs), such as Taiwan, the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, Somaliland, Abkhazia, and Western Sahara, it illustrates how these entities do in fact exercise jurisdiction. The book makes the case for a thorough reassessment, one that would decouple jurisdiction from theories of statehood and sovereignty.Innovative and thought provoking, this book offers a fresh approach to our understanding of international law.

Conclusion: Jurisdiction and Authority Beyond Statehood in International Law

This is a strikingly creative work that upends standard legal thinking about jurisdiction in international law by grounding the analysis in the need to address what has been a legal black hole: the reality that millions of people live, sometimes for their entire lifetime, under the exclusive and effective authority of non-state territorial entities. In this book, by combining elements of private and public international law and practice, Leontiev reimagines the concept of jurisdiction to finally capture this phenomenon in international legal analysis.
