The Oxford Handbook of Swiss Politics Summary

The Oxford Handbook of Swiss Politics by Patrick Emmenegger (Professor of Comparative Political Economy and Public Policy, Professor of Comparative Political Economy and Public Policy, University of St GallenProfessor of Comparative Political Economy and Public Policy, University of St Gallen)

This volume provides a comprehensive analysis of the many different facets of the Swiss political system and of the major developments in modern Swiss politics. It brings together a diverse set of more than 50 leading experts in their respective areas, who explore Switzerland's distinctive and sometimes intriguing politics at all levels and across multiple themes. In placing the topics in an international and comparative context and in conversation with the broader scholarly literature, the contributors provide a much-needed counterpoint to the rather idealized and sometimes outdated perception of Swiss politics. The work is divided into thematic sections that represent the inherent diversity of the Swiss political sphere: following a detailed introduction from the editors, the parts of the volume explore foundations, institutions, cantons and municipalities, actors, elections and votes, decision-making processes, and public policies, with a three-chapter epilogue. Throughout, The Oxford Handbook of Swiss Politics presents new arguments, insights, and data, and offers analyses relevant not only to political science but also to international relations, European studies, history, sociology, law, and economics.

The Oxford Handbook of Swiss Politics Reviews

This Handbook succeeds in offering an accessible introduction to the Swiss political system while also drawing on the latest research and thus offers an excellent stepping stone in that direction. * Paolo Dardanelli, Swiss Political Science Review *
