Caught in the middle [electronic resource] : neutrals, neutrality and the first world war / Johan den Hertog & Samuël Kruizinga (eds.)

During World War I, aggressive countries infringed on the rights and privileges of neutral nations such as the Netherlands and Switzerland as they had been defined in prior international agreements. The essays in this critical collection provide comparisons of the history of neutrality in several countries involved in World War I and analyze the concept of neutrality from multiple perspectives: political, economic, cultural, and legal.
