Deviantní podoby státnosti – příklad kvazi států

Abstract

The article deals with taxonomy of quasi states entities in two diff erent perspectives. The fi rst one is based on Robert Jackson´s theory and theory of empirical statehood, the second one examines concept of juridical statehood and limits of international recognition. The text tries to distinguish between many parallel terms which are related to the empirical and juridical statehood. Pål Kolstø´s approach is based on positive attributes of statehood which are entire part of his quasi state view. There are mentioned some examples of quasi states entities (current and ancient as well) and perspectives of future possible development. There are named some unique examples (Principality of Hutt River, homelands in South Africa, Boer republics in former Bechuanaland protectorate) which can be involved into neither of quasi states category.
