Encyclopedia > Constituent state

Constituent State: Term given to a state that is part of a larger political entity. For example, California is a constituent state of the United States of America, Denmark is a constituent state of the European Union, The enclave of Nakchivan is a constituent state of Azerbaijan, The island of Zanzibar is a constituent state of the United Republic of Tanzania.


Sometimes, this term is used as an alternative to formal recognition of a state that had declared UDI. For example, The Organization of the Islamic Conference recognizes the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus as a constituent state of Cyprus under the name Turkish Cypriot State. Somaliland is still regarded by the other nations of the world as a constituent state of Somalia, despite it's declaration of independence in 1991.
