  • Permanent neutrality of Austria as a foreign policy strategy in light of the war in Ukraine [Elektronski vir]
    Grubar, Timon
    In the essay, I present the implications that the war in Ukraine has raised regarding Austria's permanent and political neutrality. Besides the economic and energy crisis, neutrality as the ... foundation of modern Austrian statehood is an additional crisis element, since there is a clear divergence between foreign policy choices of taking part in sanctions against Russia or staying neutral. The research question I have answered is: To what extent does Austria's current foreign policy still meet the definition of permanent and political neutrality. In addition, I was evaluating the thesis that the Republic of Austria is no longer a permanently or politically neutral country. I employed the historical analysis and the analysis of the primary sources such as the Federal law on permanent neutrality, as well as secondary sources concerning the historical and current events. The permanent neutrality of Austria must be placed in a historical context, from which it is clear that it was meant in the traditional sense and that it must be understood as such. Its main idea was the equal treatment, abstaining from taking on duties potentially leading to unequal treatment in a conflict and always observing the principles of permanent neutrality. The paper finds that Austria's current policy is not in line with permanent neutrality in its original form. It is the same with political neutrality, which Austrian foreign policy and statesmen strive for. To evaluate political neutrality, we must consider the perception of neutral policy by other actors. As such indicator, I have taken the Austria's unsuccessful offer to mediate and provide good offices in the present conflict. I conclude that Austria's political neutrality is for the lack of international recognition non-existent.
