Undén — Hammarsjöld Political Duet: the New Doctrine of Swedish Neutrality in Action

Hammarsjöld: one of them was a creator of the Swedish foreign policy doctrine after the World War II and another was the UN secretary general. They stayed allied working together in the same department in Sweden and even after Hammarsjöld became the UN secretary general.
