- Abstract
- In the recent decades, Sweden, traditionally a neutral and non-aligned country, has taken a huge leap in its change of defence- and security policy towards the European Union and its fellow Nordic countries.

Sweden’s decision to become an active team player in the European circus along with the Lisboan treaty has once and for all shattered the Swedish neutrality as well as declaring a policy it can not uphold. In the end it seams, it is only a game of words. (Less)
