title = "The Europe Neutrals and NATO: Future Prospects",
abstract = "This chapter provides an assessment of the partnerships between the European neutral states and NATO since the end of the Cold War. Austria, Finland, Ireland, Sweden and Switzerland{\textquoteright}s maintenance of long-standing policies of neutrality reflects a logic of {\textquoteleft}if ain{\textquoteright}t broke, don{\textquoteright}t fix it.{\textquoteright} A radically changed European security environment and a {\textquoteleft}new{\textquoteright} NATO, however, also led the European neutral states to become proactive partners of NATO. Reflecting their vulnerability to Russia, Finland and Sweden have opted for maximalist policies of {\textquoteleft}everything but membership{\textquoteright}. Austria, Ireland and Switzerland{\textquoteright}s relations with NATO have been more limited and focused primarily on peacekeeping. As NATO re-focuses on collective defence against Russia, this divergent pattern of partnership with the various European neutral states is likely to be reinforced.",
