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.
