Book Launch - 'Between Neutrality and Solidarity: Swiss Good Offices in Afghanistan from 1979 to 1992'
The Cold War Research Network and the Contesting Governance Platform of Utrecht University invite you to join us for the hybrid launch event of Dr. Liliane Stadler’s first book, Between Neutrality and Solidarity: Swiss Good Offices in Afghanistan from 1979 to 1992.
Published in the Brill Series New Perspectives on the Cold War, the volume represents the first in-depth analysis of Switzerland’s diplomatic involvement in Afghanistan after the Soviet invasion of 1979. It is a historical case study of the principal challenges that permanently neutral states face in times of international crisis and tension. At the same time, it examines the complex nature of the relationships between neutral state and non-state actors in situations of armed conflict through the perspective of new archival source material.
Join us in person or online for the book presentation of the volume, followed by drinks for those present. Please note that prior registration is required.
