Description

The collapse of the Soviet Union and the wars in Yugoslavia radically changed the security environment in Europe and Central Asia.

Some predictions assumed the emerging unipolarity of the liberal world order would end neutrality policies in East and West, but, as this volume shows, this was not the case.

While some traditional Cold War neutrals like Sweden and Finland have been edging closer to security alignment with western institutions, there are others like Austria, Switzerland, Ireland, and Malta that remained committed to their traditional nonaligned foreign policy approaches.

More importantly, there are areas of Eurasia that developed new forms of neutrality policies, most of them only noticed on the margins of academic discourse.

This is the first book to systematically explore this “new neutralism” of the Post-Cold War.

In part one, the book analyzes contemporary neutrality discourse on several levels like international organizations (UN, ASEAN), diplomacy, and academic theory.

Part two discusses neutrality-related policy developments in Belarus, Moldova, Ukraine, Georgia, Serbia, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, and Mongolia.

Together, the 15 chapters show how on this vast, connected landmass references to neutrality have remained a staple of international politics.
