Neutrality as form of claim of safety of the modern states

The article reflects on the status of non-alignment and neutrality, examines the advantages and features of both, and the formation of the institution of neutralized territories in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The author distinguishes between neutrality and related concepts, such as non-alignment, neutral territories, and globalism. In particular, it is stated that non-alignment is a special international legal status that does not require international legal consolidation and can be changed unilaterally. It implies non-participation in military alliances, but does not oblige to comply with humanitarian law during confl icts in third countries. The author notes that the institution of neutralized territories has deep historical roots dating back to ancient times. The author concludes that the more independent a country is in asserting its sovereignty, independence, autonomy, and the supremacy of its government in making final decisions, the more opportunities it has to adapt to the processes of globalization and find a place for its progressive development. Countries that are united in military alliances, blocs or administrative-territorial associations have fewer opportunities for national adaptation, taking into account national identity, to adapt to the processes of globalization. The motivation of Ukraine in choosing the non-aligned status is analyzed. The article considers the issues of globalization related to the development of the global information technology market, the relationship between globalization processes and the information technology market, the impact of globalization processes on the security of the state, economic, information, social and cultural aspects.

Key words: neutrality, international legal status, soldiery unions. national legislation, Basic law, strategic course, globalizations not processes, military operations, special status of the state.
