ABSTRACT

This chapter discusses about the recognition from everyday, in non-theoretical perspective, the state actors are primarily guided by the aim of insisting that other states respect the communities they represent and grant them recognition with corresponding measures. The more important motives behind the recent revival of Hegel theory of recognition was the desire to return to a stronger moral-theoretical language in analyzing the comportment of collective agents and social groups, thereby extracting this behavior from the dominant paradigm of purely purposive-rational, strategic action. The main difficulty in applying the category of recognition to international relations is revealed by the obstacles search for an appropriate theoretical vocabulary. Now, on a theoretical level, there is a concept of recognition that is applied to international relations as a matter of course. The interpretation must coordinate the functional requirements for maximizing security and prosperity with the public expectations about other states recognition of its own collective identity.
