Neutrality Studies

This series offers the first academic home to books on neutrality. Cutting across scientific domains, historical periods and methodological approaches, it provides the field with a defined conceptual framework for its future direction, and establishes neutrality as a legitimate field of study in its own right. Examining the intersection of neutrality with concepts such as sovereignty, diplomacy, empire, war and international cooperation, the series will provide a comprehensive understanding of how neutrality shapes, has shaped, and will shape, global events. Forms, questions and principles of neutrality have long been engaged with across a multitude of different fields, but their findings have often remained fragmented. By bridging historical, legal, and political perspectives, the series will establish a durable academic home for neutrality studies and redefine how neutrality is studied and applied in the modern world. Special attention is given to the ways neutrality manifests in different cultural and regional contexts, from its application in European diplomacy to its relevance in non-Western traditions.
