Research seminar with Naman Habtom, Visiting researcher at the C²DH.

As the Cold War ended, Sweden began seeking a new foreign and security policy pathway. The simultaneous outbreak of the Yugoslav Wars and Sweden’s application to join the European Union meant that the Balkans came to define Sweden’s post-Cold War positioning, which contributed to the end of Swedish neutrality.
