About The Book

Neutrality in World History by Leos Müller presents a compelling synthesis of over five hundred years of neutrality in global history. In this thought-provoking work, Müller argues that neutral states—such as Switzerland, Sweden, and Belgium—have played an important and often underappreciated role in shaping global events. These nations have not only contributed to the implementation of the free trade paradigm but have also been instrumental in shaping international laws, humanitarian principles, and serving as key centers of global trade and finance.

Offering an alternative perspective to traditional world history narratives, which often focus on the power dynamics of empires and global superpowers, this book provides a fresh take on the importance of neutrality in international relations. It introduces readers to the ways in which neutrality has shaped historical and political developments, offering a distinctive approach to understanding world history.

With 178 pages of insightful analysis, Neutrality in World History is an ideal resource for students and scholars of history, international relations, and political science, providing a nuanced exploration of neutrality's role in shaping the modern world.
