The social construction of Swedish neutrality

Challenges to Swedish identity and sovereignty

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Using Sweden as a case study this book examines the conceptualisation of neutrality from the Peloponnesian War to the present day, uncovering how neutrality has been a neglected and misunderstood subject in IR theory and politics. By rethinking neutrality through constructivism, this book argues that neutrality is intrinsically linked to identity.
