Direct democracy in Switzerland.
Gregory A. Fossedal.
2005, Transaction Publishers.
Book
English.
In Direct Democracy in Switzerland, Fossedal has developed a shrewd, sensitive overview of Switzerlands high notion of statecraft. He details the reasons for studying Switzerlands distinctive institutions, and explores the origins and development of the ancient Swiss democracy, which reaches back a thousand years. He shows how Switzerland handles the political questions common to all modern societies, such as education, taxes, crime, welfare, the Holocaust. He concludes with the ongoing debate over two very different visions of democracy, direct versus representative.
