Publications Gateway

This page presents the publications of the Geneva Graduate Institute. It highlights the portals (catalogue and repository) that give access to the roughly 500 academic publications produced at the Institute each year, as well as to specific collections managed by centres, departments and the Institute. The page also provides infographics on the Institute’s academic outputs, a list of professors and researchers serving as editors or members of review committees of scientific journals or book series, a list of doctoral theses defended at the Institute, as well as the opportunity to purchase books from the Institute’s former collections (via our partner Maison des Sciences de l’Homme).

 

HIGHLIGHT | GRADUATE INSTITUTE EPAPER

The Shifting Concepts of Neutrality and Non-Belligerency in the 21st Century

By Mara Ebbers, Graduate Institute ePaper 60 (Graduate Institute Publications, 2026), https://doi.org/10.4000/15vlm (Open Access).

The applicability of neutrality law is a contested area of modern international law. Because it determines the options third states are facing in an international armed conflict, the Russo-Ukraine war lends it new urgency. Mara Ebbers analyses these options from a conceptual and practical perspective. First, she discusses the applicability of neutrality law, rejecting the theories of compulsorily applicable, qualified, and obsolete neutrality based on their conceptual flaws and inadequate incorporation of the emergence of a third option for third states. She embraces optional neutrality based on the finding that it has always been optional. Then, she examines the changing customary neutrality law and the related legal uncertainty for states, finding that this uncertainty reproduces itself and is reflected in the German and Austrian debates and their opinio juris. To encounter this legal uncertainty, she details the options available for third states — neutrality, non-belligerency, co-belligerency, and their illegal counterparts.
