Talk:Neutral and Non-Aligned European States

Ireland not included?
Hi @MirkoS18, pinging and asking you as the author of the article knowledgeable in the subject! Is the Republic of Ireland not mentioned in any sources as part of the neutral country grouping? –Vipz (talk) 23:29, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Vipz, I haven't seen any source mentioning Ireland in this context despite their long lasting neutrality. Now, the group was not very formalized so maybe there was some engagement at some point but I was unable to read it. The group was therefore narrower than simply bringing together all non-NATO/Warsaw Pact countries on the continent. There was obviously something active, programmatic and intentional in their cooperation and it was not just a blanket term for all the "others". I guess that is why there is no San Marino and other microstates, Spain after dictatorship but before NATO membership, Albania or very notably Ireland.--MirkoS18 (talk) 00:02, 19 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Actually, reference number 4 in the article (Hakovirta) address the issue of Ireland in some depth explaining how contrary to Finland, Sweden, Austria and Switzerland that country never attended NAM summits or events as a guest and showed no interest in doing so. It also was not a part of the group within the CSCE (where interestingly some microstates such as San Marino and Lichtenstein seems to have joined the group as well).--MirkoS18 (talk) 00:13, 19 June 2023 (UTC)
