Memories of the Second World War in Neutral Europe 1945–2023

Memories of the Second World War in Neutral Europe 1945–2023

This edited volume is a sequel to and a development of The Long Aftermath: Cultural Legacies of Europe at War 1936–2016 (2016). It focuses on the six major European countries and states that remained officially neutral throughout the Second World War namely Ireland Portugal Spain Sweden Switzerland and the Vatican. Its transnational comparative and interdisciplinary approach addresses complex questions pertaining to collective remembrance national policies and politics and intellectual as well as cultural responses to neutrality during and after the conflict. The contributions are from a broad range of scholars working across the disciplines of history literature film media and cultural studies. Their thought-provoking chapters challenge many assumptions about neutrality in the post-war European and global context thereby filling a gap in the existing scholarship. Common themes that run through the volume include the intertwined and dynamic links between neutrality and moral responsibility during and after the Second World War the importance of memory politics and popular culture in shaping collective memories and the impact of the Holocaust in shifting traditional perspectives on neutrality since the 1990s. This volume will be of interest to undergraduates postgraduates scholars interested in the field of memory studies as well as non-specialist readers. | Memories of the Second World War in Neutral Europe 1945–2023

Neutral Europe and the Creation of the Nonproliferation Regime 1958-1968

Neutral Europe and the Creation of the Nonproliferation Regime 1958-1968

Lottaz Iwama and their contributors investigate the role of neutral and nonaligned European states during the negotiations for the Treaty on the Nonproliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT). Focusing on the years from the Irish Resolution of 1958 until the treaty’s opening for signatures ten years later the nine chapters written by area experts highlight the processes and reasons for the political and diplomatic actions the neutrals took and how those impacted the multilateral treaty negotiations. The book reveals new aspects of the dynamics that lead to this most consequential multilateral breakthrough of the Cold War. In part one three chapters analyze the international system from a bird’s eye perspective discussing neutrality nonalignment and the nuclear order. The second part features six detailed case studies on the politics and diplomacy of Ireland Sweden Finland Switzerland Austria and Yugoslavia. Overall this study suggests that despite the volatile and dangerous nature of the early Cold War the balance of the strategic environment enabled actors that were not part of one or the other alliance system to play a role in the interlocking global politics that finally created the nuclear regime that defines international relations until today. A valuable resource for scholars of nonproliferation the Cold War neutrality nonalignment and area studies. | Neutral Europe and the Creation of the Nonproliferation Regime 1958-1968

Neutrality in International Law From the Sixteenth Century to 1945

Neutrality in International Law From the Sixteenth Century to 1945

Neutrality is a legal relationship between a belligerent State and a State not participating in a war namely a neutral State. The law of neutrality is a body of rules and principles that regulates the legal relations of neutrality. The law of neutrality obliges neutral States to treat all belligerent States impartially and to abstain from providing military and other assistance to belligerents. The law of neutrality is a branch of international law that developed in the nineteenth century when international law allowed unlimited freedom of sovereign States to resort to war. Thus there has been much debate as to whether such a branch of law remains valid in modern international law which generally prohibits war and the use of force by States. While there has been much debate regarding the current status of neutrality in modern international law there is a general agreement among scholars as to the basic features of the traditional law of neutrality. Wani challenges the conventional understanding of the traditional neutrality by re-examining the historical development of the law of neutrality from the sixteenth century to 1945. The modification of the conventional understanding will provide a fundamentally new framework for discussing the current status of neutrality in modern international law. | Neutrality in International Law From the Sixteenth Century to 1945

Neutrality and Neutralism in the Global Cold War Between or Within the Blocs?

Neutrality and Neutralism in the Global Cold War Between or Within the Blocs?

This book sheds new light on the foreign policies roles and positions of neutral states and the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) in the global Cold War. The volume places the neutral states and the NAM in the context of the Cold War and demonstrates the links between the East the West and the so-called Third World. In doing so this collection provides readers an alternative way of exploring the evolution and impact of the Cold War on North-South connections that challenges traditional notions of the post-1945 history of international relations. The various contributions are framed against the backdrop of the evolution of the Cold War international system and the decolonization process in the Southern hemisphere. By juxtaposing the policies of European neutrals and countries of the NAM this book offers new perspectives on the evolution of the Cold War. With the links between these two groups of countries receiving very little attention in Cold War scholarship the volume thus offers a window into a hitherto neglected perspective on the Cold War. Via a series of case studies the chapters here present new viewpoints on the evolution of the global Cold War through the exploration of the ensuing internal and (mainly) external policy choices of these nations. This book will be of much interest to students of Cold War Studies international history foreign policy security studies and IR in general. | Neutrality and Neutralism in the Global Cold War Between or Within the Blocs?

Liberal Neutrality

Liberal Neutrality

Originally published in 1989 Liberal Neutrality approaches the recommendation of neutrality by confronting the abstract prescription (that we should be neutral) with the implications for particular people and institutions. This not only identifies what neutrality involves logically but also exposes the practical difficulties that may be encountered in pursuing it. In some cases such close examination shows that neutrality is not desirable and in others that it is attainable only within certain limits. Although neutrality has become a fashionable term in political theory this is the only volume to subject the idea to systematic scrutiny. It will be useful not only to specialists in diverse disciplines – political scientists philosophers sociologists lawyers and educationalists.

The Role of Taste in Kant's Theory of Cognition

The Role of Taste in Kant's Theory of Cognition

First published in 1990. This title originally a Ph. D. dissertation submitted to the Department of Philosophy at Harvard University in July 1988 grew out of an interest in the foundations of twentieth-century analytic philosophy. Believing that the idea of the primacy of judgment was an important one for understanding more recent issues in analytic philosophy the author started to think about its historical antecedents. By examining Kant’s Critique of Judgement Ginsborg explores the notion of a judgment of taste as a judgment which has intersubjective validity without being objectively valid and therefore bear’s directly on the notion of the primacy of judgment as an aspect of Kant's account of objectivity. This title will be of interest to students of philosophy. | The Role of Taste in Kant's Theory of Cognition

Sweden Japan and the Long Second World War 1931-1945

Sweden Japan and the Long Second World War 1931-1945

We thank Ekman & Co AB and Gadelius Holding Ltd for their kind and generous support making this research available online for free. Lottaz and Ottosson explore the intricate relationship between neutral Sweden and Imperial Japan during the latter’s 15 years of warfare in Asia and in the Pacific. While Sweden’s relationship with European Axis powers took place under the premise of existential security concerns the case of Japan was altogether different. Japan never was a threat to Sweden militarily or economically. Nevertheless Stockholm maintained a close relationship with Tokyo until Japan’s surrender in 1945. This book explores the reasons for that and therefore provides a study on the rationale and the value of neutrality in the Long Second World War. Sweden Japan and the Long Second World War is a valuable resource for scholars of the Second World War and of the history of neutrality. | Sweden Japan and the Long Second World War 1931-1945

Ideology and Conference Interpreting A Case Study of the Summer Davos Forum in China

Ideology and Conference Interpreting A Case Study of the Summer Davos Forum in China

Gao uses the case of conference interpreting at the Summer Davos Forum in China to systematically reveal the ways in which ideology and linguistic ‘re-engineering’ can lead to discourse reconstruction. Translation and interpreting can never be wholly neutral practices in ‘multi-voiced’ transnational communication. Gao employs an innovative methodological synthesis to examine in depth a range of elements surrounding interpreters’ ideological positioning. These include analysing the appraisal patterns of the source and target texts identifying ‘us’-and-‘them’ discourse structures investigating interpreters’ cognitions and examining the crossmodal means by which interpreters render paralanguage. Collectively they bridge the gap between socio-political and ideological concerns on the one hand and practical questions of discourse reconstruction in cross-language/ cultural events on the other offering a panoramic perspective. An invaluable read for scholars in translation and interpreting studies particularly those with an interest in political discourse or the international relations context. | Ideology and Conference Interpreting A Case Study of the Summer Davos Forum in China

Liberalism and Naval Strategy Ideology Interest and Sea Power During the Pax Britannica

Liberalism and Naval Strategy Ideology Interest and Sea Power During the Pax Britannica

Liberalism and Naval Strategy (1986) examines the role that liberalism played in shaping the naval strategy of the Pax Britannia. Liberalism was linked to commercial interest and the devotion of the middle classes to peaceful commerce and their suspicion of force as government policy helped to inform critical choices. The traditional British naval strategy of the mercantilist era persisted into the early nineteenth century when the Royal Navy’s policing of the seas against piracy and the slave trade antagonized trade rivals particularly America. By the 1850s Britain granted immunity to neutral shipping – after much debate with some of the century’s leading thinkers including Mill and Marx taking prominent parts in the naval controversies. This book examines these events as well as the writings of contemporary naval strategists including the Colomb brothers. It also discusses the strategic posture of the Admiralty and its opponents before and during the war against Germany in 1914. | Liberalism and Naval Strategy Ideology Interest and Sea Power During the Pax Britannica
