Download or read book La Suisse et les grandes puissances 1914 1945 written by Sébastien Guex and published by Librairie Droz. This book was released on 1999 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: De 1914 à 1945, quatre grandes puissances - les États-Unis, la Grande-Bretagne, l'Allemagne et la France - dominent économiquement et politiquement la scène mondiale. Ce sont aussi les principaux partenaires économiques de la Suisse. Les études réunies dans cet ouvrage répondent à une double ambition. Il s'agit, d'une part, de mieux apprécier le poids relatif de la Suisse pour chacun des quatre pays en question, et réciproquement, grâce à des données quantitatives en partie nouvelles. D'autre part, ces études permettront de mieux comprendre certains aspects importants de la politique économique menée par la Suisse durant une période cruciale de son histoire, à l'aide d'archives peu ou pas exploitées jusqu'à maintenant. Les contributions présentées ici permettent de dégager une conclusion générale, qui tranche avec une image d'Épinal encore largement répandue aujourd'hui. Elles montrent que de 1914 à 1945, la Suisse, loin d'être un frêle esquif sans grande liberté de manœuvre face à ses partenaires étrangers, s'est affirmée comme une véritable puissance sur le plan commercial et financier, avec laquelle les grands États ont dû de plus en plus compter.

Download or read book Switzerland and the International Protection of Refugees La Suisse et la protection internationale des refugi s written by Vera Gowlland-Debbas and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-10-18 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present volume highlights the new challenges of the international protection of refugees fifty years after the adoption of the 1951 Geneva Convention relating to the Status of Refugees. Focusing on the problems faced by Switzerland in the field of international protection of refugees as well as on the specificity of its asylum law and practice, this publication addresses the refugee problem from a national, European and international perspective. The Swiss experience serves to illustrate the wider problematic of on the one hand, the tensions between security, political and humanitarian concerns encountered by refugee-receiving states, and on the other, the need to preserve an international refugee protection regime which remains an essential component of international law and relations for so long as political solutions are not brought to the root causes of refugee exodus. This reflection on the international protection of refugees is organized around four main themes. The first examines Switzerland's response in the past to mass influx, in the light of historical case studies and the evolution of Swiss asylum law and practice. The second focuses on the question of access of refugees to asylum territories and refugee status determination procedures within the framework of the 1951 Convention on the Status of Refugees and the current Swiss asylum law. The third centres on the wider protection regime currently being forged in Europe to address a broader category of refugees, including solutions for temporary and subsidiary protection. The final theme revolves around return of refugees, including those under the Dayton and recent Kosovo agreements and covers reintegration of returnees, assistance and long-term development. This work is based on papers presented at a colloquium of the Graduate Institute of the International Studies in Geneva which was organised in collaboration with the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees as a contribution to the 50th anniversaries of the UNHCR and the Geneva Convention relating to the Status of Refugees.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The subject of transnational lives has only recently gained importance in historical research. With its transnational approach to “mobility and biography,” this volume brings together research on aspects of mobility and biography across different times and spaces to open up new interdisciplinary perspectives. Networks, movements and the capacity to become socially or spatially mobile in and across Europe are not only analysed as structural factors, but rather seen as connected to concrete practices of mobility among different groups in the spheres of business, politics and the arts: from Jewish merchants via legal and financial advisors all the way to musicians.

Download or read book Europe for the Europeans written by Christina Schori Liang and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-29 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the last two decades the number of political organizations on the far right, neo-populist right and neo-conservative right has been growing. Along with the mounting electoral success for many of the parties there has also been a growing disenchantment with the political class which has led to a revolt against the current political 'establishment'. The events of September 11, 2001 and the 'War on Terror' have further aggravated tensions within the populations between those who feel they are the 'legitimate' citizens of the state and those who are considered 'outsiders'. The recent expansion of the EU's borders has also brought on fears of a surge of both legal and illegal immigration. All these factors have led to a growing number of cases of harassment and outbursts of violence aimed at asylum seekers and ethnic minorities in Europe. This book measures the effects of neo-populist groups on the current political establishment and illustrates how much political appeal neo-populist views have on making current political policy.
