Scandinavia and the Great Powers in the First World War
Bloomsbury Academic (Verlag)
978-1-350-04635-1 (ISBN)
The 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.
For 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.
Michael Jonas is Postdoctoral Research Fellow and Lecturer of Modern History at Helmut-Schmidt-University, Hamburg, Germany, and Adjunct Professor at the University of Helsinki, Finland.
