Reconciling Sweden's reputation for political neutrality and scientific prestige alongside its involvement in extractivist colonial projects exposes uncomfortable overlaps between these seemingly disparate ventures. In this illuminating reappraisal of the intersections between Swedish colonialism and its industrial history, Neutrality's Empire explores how Swedish actors-ranging from diplomats and business leaders to missionaries, geologists and engineers-leveraged Sweden's global standing to access valuable mineral resources across Africa and Asia. In doing so, this book presents a historical narrative which clarifies Sweden's entanglement with the forces of globalization, colonialism, and climate change.
