This course intends to understand the ambiguous and nebulous character of the neutral and neutrality. Since the modern concept of neutrality was born at Sea, we intend to follow the contribution of some European maritime powers until the rise of a neutral status recognized by constitution and international society in the 20th century. Neutrality is analysed in an interdisciplinary framework, with the purpose to cross borders between political and gender studies. Poslední úprava: VASKA (13.02.2009)

Aim of subject After focusing on the practise of neutrality and its slow codification based on a recognized common law (Law of Nations), students should be familiar with the historical context about one of the most important concepts in International Relations.
