苏联的解体导致了几个不被承认的小国的建立，其中三个-阿布哈兹，南奥塞梯和纳戈尔诺-卡拉巴赫-位于南高加索。本文不考虑这些准国家是否应该得到国际承认的问题，而是关注它们是否作为运作的国家实体存在。这些未来国家的当局在多大程度上能够为民众提供当代国家所期望的服务——比如内部和外部安全、基础设施和福利？这三个国家都坚持认为，它们不仅是正常运转的国家，而且是人民效忠的民族国家。因此，我们也讨论它们体现真正国家地位的主张。
Abstract The dissolution of the Soviet Union led to the establishment of several non-recognised statelets, three of which—Abkhazia, South Ossetia and Nagorno-Karabakh—are located in the South Caucasus. This article sets aside the question of whether these quasi-states ought to be internationally recognised, and focuses on whether they exist as functioning state entities. To what extent are the authorities in these would-be states able to provide the populace with the services expected of contemporary states—like internal and external security, basic infrastructure and welfare? All three insist that they are not only functioning states, but also nation-states that command the allegiance of their population. We thus also discuss their claim to embody real nationhood.
