An Age of Neutrals provides a pioneering history of neutrality in
Europe and the wider world between the Congress of Vienna and the
outbreak of the First World War. The 'long' nineteenth century
(1815 1914) was an era of unprecedented industrialization,
imperialism and globalization; one which witnessed Europe's
economic and political hegemony across the world. Dr Maartje
Abbenhuis explores the ways in which neutrality reinforced these
interconnected developments. She argues that a passive conception
of neutrality has thus far prevented historians from understanding
the high regard with which neutrality, as a tool of diplomacy and
statecraft and as a popular ideal with numerous applications, was
held. This compelling new history exposes neutrality as a vibrant
and essential part of the nineteenth-century international system;
a powerful instrument used by great and small powers to solve
disputes, stabilize international relations and promote a variety
of interests within and outside the continent."
