    History of Switzerland in the 20th Century.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    The project fits into a larger series of studies outlining the evolution of national societies in 20th century Europe. In order to avoid a methodological nationalism, the history of the nation state is put in a global context, thereby combining perspectives from political, social, economic and cultural history. The dissonances, crises, and the innovative momentum of modernity are in the centre of the theoretical reflexion. During the \u201clong twentieth century\u201d, Switzerland as a small, neutral state with an open, globally oriented economy of considerable scope has produced a significant tension between national sovereignty and economic (inter-)dependence. Compared to the great powers of Europe, the Swiss Confederation appears as a peaceful, blessed country, exempted from the wars and catastrophes of the 20th century, enjoying prosperity and a considerable quality of life. At the same time, the Swiss nation itself developed a collective feeling of being endangered by outer enemies, thereby mentally transforming the country in a \u201cReduit\u201d (the mountainous stronghold). This state of consciousness, that became more and more fictional during the Cold war, was then again instrumentalized to avert external pressures against the Swiss tax haven and the banking secrecy. In sum an in the long run, the combination of a national \u201cSonderfall\u201d- ideology with a flexible integration in global markets worked well and produced positive synergies between historical myths (\u201eArkadien of free and pious peasants\u201c), landscapes (yearning for the alps), political system (republican democracy) as well as social stability. The volume aims at analyzing these entanglements and configurations, proposing a new historical interpretation of Switzerland\u2019s path dependent history throughout the 20th century.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\t<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
