Revised and completely updated edition of Jonathan Steinberg's
classic account of Switzerland's unique political and economic
system. Why Switzerland? examines the complicated voting system
that allows citizens to add, strike out, or vote more than once for
candidates, with extremely complicated systems of proportional
representation; a collective and consensual executive leadership in
both state and church; and the creation of the Swiss idea of
citizenship, with tolerance of differences of language and
religion, and a perfectionist bureaucracy which regulates the
well-ordered society. This third edition tries to test the
flexibility of the Swiss way of politics in the globalized world,
social media, the huge expansion of money in world circulation and
the vast tsunamis of capital which threaten to swamp it. Can the
complex machinery that has maintained Swiss institutions for
centuries survive globalization, neo-liberalism and mass migration
from poor countries to rich ones?
