“This book identifies geographic areas in Europe which through international law is, or have been previously, demilitarized and/or neutralized. The concepts of demilitarization and neutralization is both analyzed in the publication. After the analysis of the concepts, the book does a review of geographical areas which is or have been demilitarized or neutralized. The study deals with European relations. The majority of the available source material consists of peace agreements, although some comprehensive studies have also been included. The academic interest for demilitarization and neutralization has declined after the second World War. Although a certain important exception is status of the Åland Islands, including its autonomy, in international law which in a Nordic perspective has attracted a relatively extensive interest. The book also contains a theoretical discussion on demilitarization and neutralization. Christer Ahlström (JD) is the Deputy Director at Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, SIPRI. He arrived to SIPRI from the Swedish Foreign Service where he worked with questions concerning international law and non-proliferation of weapons of mass-destruction.”
