Having published her first book on the role of Switzerland’s neutral good offices in the context of the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan from 1979 to 1992, the aim of her second book project is to understand how competing interpretations of neutrality have evolved in relation to the Transatlantic security structures of the post-Cold War era.
