  Foreign relations of Sweden - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The foreign policy of Sweden is based on the premise that national security is best served by staying free of alliances in peacetime in order to remain a neutral country in the event of war.
While some argued that it went against Sweden's historic policy of neutrality, where Sweden had not joined during the Cold War because it was incompatible with neutrality, others viewed the move as a natural extension of the economic cooperation that had been going on since 1972 with the EU.
In membership negotiations in 1993-1994, Sweden also had reserved the right to make the final decision on whether to join the third stage of the EMU "in light of continued developments." In a nationwide referendum in November 1994, 52.3 percent of participants voted in favour of EU membership.
