My PhD thesis – What is the effect of non-recognition? The external relations of de facto states in the post-Soviet space – is now online and can be downloaded freely.

Aware of the limited allure of a 300-pages pdf file, I decided to outline in a blog post some key outcomes (not necessarily the conclusions), as well as some additional thoughts.

Among other things, instead of taking my responsibilities, I shamelessly "blame all shortcomings [in my research] to my becoming a parent in the early stages of this research." But I also argue that becoming a parent made me a better researcher. So go figure.
