Ross here presents a comparative historical study of European
neutrality policy with special reference to the problem posed to
neutral countries by the imposition of international collective
sanctions. The study takes the form of an extended and detailed
comparative examination of Swedish and Swiss responses to the
League of Nation's embargo against Italy in 1935-36 and the United
Nation's sanctions against Rhodesia in 1965-79. Through this
analysis, the author explores how and why Swedish and Swiss
policies toward sanctions have differed over time and what these
differences reveal about neutrality policy in general, particularly
in relation to collective security actions taken by international
organizations. An ideal supplemental text for graduate and advanced
undergraduate courses in comparative politics, international
relations, and international organization, this volume will also be
of significant benefit to policymakers interested in reviewing past
sanctions cases as a guidepost for determining the feasibility of
similar operations in the future.
The book is distinguished by its broad historical approach and
by its close comparison of the two countries--not only in terms of
their sanctions policies but also in terms of their domestic
political structures and individual overall formulations of
neutrality policy. Ross demonstrates that despite the many
background similarities between Sweden and Switzerland, the two
states have differed substantially in their responses to sanctions
operations. He analyzes the reasons for these differences,
challenging traditionally held views that characterize Sweden's
policies as changeable and Switzerland's as consistent. Finally,
Ross identifies seven explanatory factors, derived from the four
case studies, which can be used to determine how other source
states--both neutral and non-neutral--might respond to future cases
of sanctions.
