Abstract

Neutrality has changed a lot during the historical development, which is obvious due to a large number of existing definitions. This thesis does not deal with neutrality in juridical sense but it takes neutrality as a political security conception which develops in the context. It addicts Swedish notion on neutrality and its compatibility with the membership in the European Union following the analysis of foreign policy and its changes in the time range 1997-2013. The article tries - based on the analysis of these primary resources - to point out how the Swedish government tries - being afraid of questioning the full participation of Sweden in European Union - persuades that the neutrality is fully compatible with the membership in this organisation. Trying to support this idea, the author often quotes statements of government and gives the readers the unique opportunity to make her/his own opinion on the Swedish approach to the European Union.
