This collection examines the theory, practice, and application of state neutrality in international relations. With a focus on its modern-day applications, the studies in this volume analyze the global implications of permanent neutrality for Taiwan, Russia, Ukraine, the European Union, and the United States. Exploring permanent neutrality’s role as a realist security model capable of rivaling collective security, the authors argue that permanent neutrality has the potential to decrease major security dilemmas on the global stage.
Neutrality, as both an idea and concrete foreign policy tool, has all but disappeared from the political landscape in the aftermath of World War II. Pascal Lottaz and Herbert R. Reginbogin are to be congratulated for assembling this brilliant collection of essays that sheds important light on the nature and characteristics of a millenarian—if highly underrated—political concept and practice that is still relevant to today's international politics. -- Efraim Karsh, Emeritus Professor of Middle East and Mediterranean Studies, King’s College London & Director of the Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies

With populist nationalism on the rise and security concerns mounting, today’s international politics would scarcely seem sympathetic to the idea of neutrality. Reginbogin and Lottaz’s exciting new collection challenges us to rethink such assumptions, arguing that neutrality can help diffuse regional tensions—in Europe, East Asia and elsewhere—but also serve to strengthen the much-frayed international security architecture. Refreshing and timely, Permanent Neutrality: a Model for Peace, Security and Justice helps rescue the concept of neutrality for scholars and, more importantly, serves up plenty of food for thought for practitioners of contemporary international relations. -- Neville Wylie, University of Stirling
