Bi-polarity’s product (Austria, Finland) or the necessity to strategically adapt itself
in Bi-polarity (Sweden). The comparative investigations is conducted to identify and
explain recently-historical similarities and differences of these states’ neutrality foreign
policies in order to understand current and future tendencies of European neutral
states in the framework of modern international security.
