从中立到后中立的过渡一直被建构主义者和理性主义者争论为一个看似合乎逻辑和没有问题的举动：冷战的结束和全球化世界中安全议程的扩大意味着以国家为中心的安全方法不再可行或可取。前中立国随后重新调整其安全政策，以反映这一发展，并为欧洲和北约的安全倡议作出贡献，同时贡献自己独特的“软安全”经验和做法。本文旨在通过考察促成这一转变的话语，来质疑这一看似顺利的从中立到后中立的转变。论证有一个后中立的政治在工作，它提请注意身份是如何在欧洲一体化和身份形成的过程中被重建，以及如何话语的安全合作的变化形式促进话语传播的必然逻辑，中立的任何形式最终将被放弃。
The transition from neutrality to post-neutrality has been debated by constructivists and rationalists alike as a seemingly logical and unproblematic move: the end of the Cold War and the widening of the security agenda in a globalizing world have meant that a state-centric approach to security is no longer viable or desirable. The former neutrals are subsequently reconfiguring their security policies to reflect this development and contributing to European and NATO security initiatives, and at the same time contributing their own unique ‘soft security’ experiences and practices. This article aims to problematize this seemingly smooth move from neutrality to post-neutrality by examining the discourses deployed to facilitate this change. Arguing that there is a politics of post-neutrality at work, it draws attention to how identity is being reconstituted in the process of European integration and identity-formation, and how discourses on changing forms of security cooperation are facilitating the discursive dissemination of an inevitable logic that neutrality in any form will eventually be abandoned.
