Neutrality in World History offers an intriguing alternative to dominant world history narratives by arguing for neutrality's historical significance in shaping the modern international order.

Neutrality in World History provides a cogent synthesis of five hundred years of neutrality in global history. Author Leos Müller argues that neutrality and neutral states, such as Switzerland, Sweden and Belgium, have played an important historical role in implementing the free trade paradigm, shaping the laws of nations and humanitarianism, and serving as key global centres of trade and finance. Offering an intriguing alternative to dominant world history narratives, which hinge primarily on the international relations and policies of empires and global powers, Neutrality in World History provides students with a distinctive introduction to neutrality’s place in world history.

Leos Müller is Professor of History and Head of the Centre for Maritime Studies at Stockholm University.
