Abstract:

Contemporary secular Switzerland has been polarised by more than two decades of anti-Muslim sentiments, conveyed through misrepresentative narratives by some politicians and media, ‘otherising’ Islam and Muslim-related issues. This polarised environment may have triggered ambivalent impacts on the personal development of Swiss-born Muslims Consequently, I suggest that they live in an ambivalent position, where their status as Muslim is not fully acknowledged and their belonging to Switzerland still questioned. Indeed, this article will explore the following research question: How do some young

Abstract:

Regardless of the role attributed to the centuries-old tradition of Switzerland's attitude towards political and economic bilateral relations with individual countries and maintaining this pattern in international politics, the participation of Poland and Switzerland in international organizations continues to play a significant role in the relation between these two countries . Faced with the ever-increasing complexity of the global situation, which not only prevents isolationist policies, but also significantly reduces the effects of bilateral policy, the growing role of this plane is becomi

Abstract:

Switzerland's neutrality during the Cold War allowed it, without joining any of the opposing blocs, to take an active part in international politics. This, in particular, was reflected in the so-called good offices and a series of protective mandates of Switzerland in Iran. The article presents a brief historical digression into the process of development of diplomatic relations between Switzerland and Iran. The purpose of the article is to determine the role of Swiss diplomacy in negotiations on the release of American hostages in Iran (1979-1981). The study was carried out on the basis of de

Abstract The article offers the first comprehensive account of relations between Germany and Switzerland in the years 1919 to 1931 based on archival sources from both countries. Emphasising the interaction between finance and diplomacy, it provides new insights into the role played by the Swiss offshore centre for the German Reich after the First World War. During the inflationist period of 1919‒1923, as well as in the crisis of 1929‒1931, Switzerland, like the Netherlands, welcomed a huge amount of wealth from Germany while at the same time becoming an important creditor of the Reich.

Abstract During the Second World War, more than 10,000 Polish soldiers were interned in Switzerland. Among them were prominent architects, including Marek Leykam and Bohdan Garliński, who upon returning to Poland, left their mark on postwar modernism. Leykam was later marginalized for his buildings that were allegedly too International in style. Garliński became one of the key ideologists of Socialist Realism in the First General Exhibition of Architecture of the People’s Republic of Poland.

We estimate asymmetries in innovations to Solow residuals for 11 Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries using stochastic frontier analysis. Likelihood ratio statistics and variance ratios imply that all countries with net energy imports have significant negative asymmetries, whereas other countries do not. We construct a simple theoretical model in which the measured Solow residual combines effects from technology, factor utilization, and the terms of trade. For oil importers, the model implies an asymmetric response of measured total factor productivity to oil

AbstractMinor infractions represent the majority of criminal cases. Simplified or summary procedures have addressed their increasing number in order to unburden the courts. Because of reduced requirements for the case to be adjudicated, this procedural economy comes usually to the cost of the defendant. Penal orders represent the most successful form of fast track procedure in which the public prosecutor plays a predominant role. After a police report and sometimes a short investigation, penal orders are issued and notified to the defendant. If they are not objected, their judgment equals the

Despite the distinction, the issue of ‘Refugees and religion’ and the issue of ‘Migration and religion’ will overlap.

Abstract:

The sustainability of the pharmaceutical industry has aroused interest from various sectors and disciplines, including chemistry, biology and engineering. Given the Swiss drug sector’s innovative engine and enormous economic importance, a Swiss Biotech Day panel discussion was held in May 2022 in Basel to address the question of how “sustainability across the pharmaceutical value chain” can be edged forward in Switzerland. Roche, Lonza, Pheida, ETH, the Swiss Academy of Engineering Sciences (SATW), and a newly established collaborative, Circular Carbon for Chemistry (ccLoop) joined forces and

Abstract This introductory article for this special issue of the Journal of Empirical Theology, sketches the political and societal context in which the Swiss National Research Programme on “Religion, State, and Society” was developed and gives a general overview of this research programme. First, it introduces recent developments in Switzerland’s religious landscape and illustrates their relevance for the development of a broad state-funded research programme on religion. The authors reflect on Switzerland’s understanding of religious neutrality which has been both questioned and reactivated

Abstract:

New palaeoecological investigations (pollen, macrofossil, and charcoal analyses) provide important evidence on the fire history and the long-term fire ecology of different regions of Switzerland. The results from the Swiss plateau, the Northern and Central Alps and Southern Switzerland suggest that fire played a different role for the long-term vegetational development in the different regions. In the Northern Alps and Southern Switzerland anthropogenic fires led to the disappearance of entire forest communities. These fires especially affected the fire-sensitive speciesAbies alba.

Abstract:

The article discusses the phenomenon of neutrality in the foreign policy of Austria and Switzerland, whose scope of meaning is expanding in the context of changing conditions in the international security environment. The definitional and theoretical construction of neutrality, its conditions, functions and application in politics were analyzed. The article ends with conclusions confirming the role neutrality plays for Austria and Switzerland resulting from the deep history of the state and the identity of the nation in the face of contemporary challenges of the evolving international reality.

Abstract:

Switzerland is generally considered to be ECHR-friendly. The Convention does play an important role concerning constitutional review in the context of fundamental rights protection. However, challenges to Switzerland’s European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR)-friendliness regularly arise in the form of popular initiatives that are problematic from a human rights perspective. The Swiss Federal Supreme Court (FSC) is generally cautious and reserved when resolving conflicts between domestic law and the ECHR, although approaches vary between the FSC’s different sections. Differences can also be

Abstract:

Chemistry and biotechnology played a central role in transforming a poverty-stricken region in the middle of Europe into a flourishing industrial country. Rural areas remained destitute well into the 18th century. However, during the second half of the 18th century the foundation of the chemical powerhouses was laid. The biotechnological sector was built on these strong fundaments. This paper describes the development of the Swiss biotechnology sector from the early beginnings in the 1930s with a biocatalytic step in Vitamin C production to today’s multifaceted application of biotechnology in
