Book The Swiss Press and Foreign Affairs in World War II  Classic Reprint

Download or read book The Swiss Press and Foreign Affairs in World War II Classic Reprint written by Frederick H. Hartmann and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-27 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Swiss Press and Foreign Affairs in World War II Most people know three facts about Switzer land: that it is mountainous, beautiful, and neutral. Surprisingly, in view of the number of tourists who have visited Switzerland through the years and the interest shown by them in things Swiss, little scholarly material on that country, its institutions, or its policies, has found its way into American libraries. Even among the serious studies on Swiss foreign policy and Swiss foreign relations there is a pronounced tendency toward a moralistic-legalistic flavor. As a result there is relatively little in print which attempts a hard-headed survey of the foreign policy problems facing Switzerland. Never in recent times have these problems been more acute than in the years when Hitler ruled in Germany, especially in the period after the actual outbreak of World War II. These problems reached a climax following the Fall of France when Switzerland became a small island of democracy and freedom virtually surrounded by an Axis iron ring. In this precarious con dition the Swiss press and its content took on a special importance and became a Vital aspect of Swiss foreign relations. It is to this subject that the following study is devoted. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Neutrality and Vulnerable States

Download or read book Neutrality and Vulnerable States written by Nasir Ahmad Andisha and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-10-08 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a timely and concise academic and historical background to the concept and practice of neutrality, a relatively new phenomenon in foreign and security policy. It approaches two key questions: under what circumstances can permanent neutrality be applied, and what are the main ingredients of success and the causes of failure in applying permanent neutrality? By evaluating, comparing, and contrasting the two successful European case studies of Austria and Switzerland and the two challenging Asian case studies of Afghanistan and Laos, the author creates a new framework of analysis to explore the feasibility of reframing, adopting, and applying a policy of neutrality and jump start debates on the feasibility of the idea of “new neutrality”. He opens the debate by asking whether, as neutrality successfully functioned as a conflict resolution tool during the Cold War, a reframed and adopted version of neutrality could also serve the needs of the twenty-first-century world order. This is an insightful book for all scholars, students, and policymakers workingin international relations, security studies, the history of neutrality, and Afghanistan studies.

Download or read book Power and the Past written by Eric Langenbacher and published by Georgetown University Press. This book was released on 2010-01-29 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Only recently have international relations scholars started to seriously examine the influence of collective memory on foreign policy formation and relations between states and peoples. The ways in which the memories of past events are interpreted, misinterpreted, or even manipulated in public discourse create the context that shapes international relations. Power and the Past brings together leading history and international relations scholars to provide a groundbreaking examination of the impact of collective memory. This timely study makes a contribution to developing a theory of memory and international relations and also examines specific cases of collective memory’s influence resulting from the legacies of World War II, the Holocaust, and September 11. Addressing concerns shared by world leaders and international institutions as well as scholars of international studies, this volume illustrates clearly how the memory of past events alters the ways countries interact in the present, how memory shapes public debate and policymaking, and how memory may aid or more frequently impede conflict resolution.
