Sweden, Japan, and the Long Second World War: 1931–1945
This book explores 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. |

Permanent Neutrality:
A Model for Peace, Security, and Justice Edited by Herbert R. Reginbogin and Pascal Lottaz
2020, Lexington Books In this edited volume, we compiled ten chapters about the contemporary functioning of neutrality in the European and Asian context. As an outcome of the 2019 neutrality conference in Washington DC, it shines a light on the logic behind neutralist strategies in different contexts. It takes into consideration current Russian perspectives, and explains an indigenous Taiwanese neutrality movement that aims at making Taiwan an "island of peace and neutrality."
