The thesis deals with the concept of neutrality in terms of international relations and historical development. The main aim of the thesis is to analyse what factors changed the view of states on neutrality and led to the application to NATO. The changes since the emergence of neutral status of two selected countries, Sweden and Finland, are analyzed, and special attention will be paid to the events that preceded and followed the Russian aggression in Ukraine. In particular, the changes in the neutral status of these countries are examined in the context of the main theories of international relations. The thesis seeks to answer the question of whether these states can still be considered neutral.
