Captured in neutrality?

Více o knize

Austrian neutrality is explored in this seminar paper, focusing on its significance within the context of the European Union. Initially a barrier to Austria's accession to the European Community, neutrality evolved into a core aspect of national identity post-Cold War. The paper investigates how Austria has adapted its neutrality to achieve EU membership in 1995 and examines its ongoing relevance, particularly regarding the Constitution for Europe. Key questions include the implications of neutrality for foreign policy and Austria's current evaluation of European integration.
