It surveys the complex relationship between the belligerent great powers and Northern Europe's neutral small states in times of crisis and war. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book's overreaching rationale draws upon three underlying conceptual fields: neutrality and international law, hegemony and great power politics as well as diplomacy and policy-making of small states in the international arena. From a variety of angles, it examines the question of how neutrality was understood and perceived, negotiated and dealt with both among the Scandinavian states and the belligerent major powers, especially Britain, Germany and Russia. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor a long time, the experience of neutral countries during the First World War was seen as marginal, and was overshadowed by the experiences of occupation and collaboration brought about by the Second World War. In this book, Jonas demonstrates how this perception has changed, with neutrality becoming an integral part of the multiple narratives of the First World War. It is an important contribution to the international history of the First World War, cultural-historically influenced approaches to diplomatic history and the growing area of neutrality studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Jonas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 135017825X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350178250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/20\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.76lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.51d","brand":"Michael Jonas","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46906733461759,"sku":"9781350178250","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_921c4d2e-0f4d-40f5-8d47-0c1d388eab5c.jpg?v=1748771266","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/scandinavia-and-the-great-powers-michael-jonas-9781350178250","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
