Denmark and Switzerland are small and successful countries with
exceptionally content populations. However, they have very
different political institutions and economic models. They have
followed the general tendency in the West toward economic
convergence, but both countries have managed to stay on top. They
both have a strong liberal tradition, but otherwise their economic
strategies are a welfare state model for Denmark and a safe haven
model for Switzerland. The Danish welfare state is tax-based, while
the expenditures for social welfare are insurance-based in
Switzerland. The political institutions are a multiparty unicameral
system in Denmark, and a permanent coalition system with many
referenda and strong local government in Switzerland. Both
approaches have managed to ensure smoothly working political
power-sharing and economic systems that allocate resources in a
fairly efficient way. To date, they have also managed to adapt the
economies to changes in the external environment with a combination
of stability and flexibility.
