Constitutive theory of statehood
The constitutive theory of statehood defines a state as a person of international law which is recognised as sovereign by other states. Statehood according to this theory does not require diplomatic recognition by other states, but rather a recognition that it exists. It is the opposing point of view to the declarative theory of statehood, which defines statehood in terms of several de facto characteristics of a region.
