This article analyzes the complex interaction between political and legal factors in the recognition process of new states. The research examines the role of formal legal criteria alongside geopolitical interests, economic dependencies, and strategic partnerships in contemporary international practice of state recognition decisions. The article analyzes cases of Kosovo, South Ossetia, Abkhazia, and other new states to demonstrate instances where political motivations prevail over legal foundations. The research findings reveal that pure legal approaches are rarely applied in contemporary recognition practice, and in most cases political expediency supersedes legal principles.
