Kim, Y.V. On the issue of definition of statehood.

Abstract: In the opinion of the author of this article, keen attention to the category of “statehood” is due to the general dissatisfaction of scholars with the state of development of “statehood” as a scientific category, scientific and reference literature uses it in great many meanings. As the analysis shows, the encyclopedical interpretation seems to be closer to the true meaning of statehood, than academical intepretation.
