Why Switzerland?（ISBN=9780521484534） snb txt 网盘 pdf kindle 2025 lit 下载

　　Switzerland is a special and fascinating place. Its unique

institutions, its direct democracy, multi-member executives,

absence of strikes, communal autonomy, its universal military

service, its wealth, and four national languages make it

interesting in itself. But it has wider significance, in

representing the 'Europe that did not happen', the Europe that

escaped the centralisation of state and economy associated with the

modern world. Today, there is a new special feature. Switzerland is

an island surrounded by the European Union, and resists membership.

Why Switzerland? attempts to answer three related questions: why

has such an exception to European norms survived? Why should

outsiders notice its peculiarities and what can they learn from

them? Finally, can so unusual a society continue to exist when many

of the conditions in which it evolved have disappeared? Why

Switzerland?, which was first published in 1976, has been

completely revised (with new illustrations) to try to answer these

questions for the present generation.

书籍介绍

Why Switzerland?, first published in 1976, offers a unique analysis of the structures that make Switzerland work and provides a short, concise "working model" for the visitor or student. Linking an analysis of the microeconomy to the major features in politics, history, religion and language, it shows how a "bottom up" society has survived in a world of "top down" states. For this new edition Jonathan Steinberg has completely revised and extended his text, and a number of unusual and attractive illustrations have been added.
