Summary/Abstract: The main goals and basic values on which the foreign policy of the Republic of Austria is based are: security and international peace, external independence and internal sovereignty, then political values such as human rights, plural democracy, rule of law, economic and social market economy, human dignity in whole world, material well-being and other living qualities of the population, environmental protection and preservation of Austrian identity. In legal terms, categories of neutrality are: classical neutrality in war, non-belligerence, non-alignment (neutrality), neutrality and the United Nations system, and permanent neutrality. Due to the declared permanent neutrality, Austria did not join supranational organizations such as the European Communities. However, after the end of the Cold War, Austria redefined its neutrality and reduced it to so-called “essential neutrality”. According to such an interpretation of neutrality, Austria will not join military alliances, but it will join supranational organizations, and in 1995 it became a member of the European Union.
