Opening and session Switzerland: Misfit or Model?
Switzerland has been criticized lately: On the one hand, Switzerland's
direct democracy is a showpiece; on the other hand, it unleashes worldwide
consternation. International pressures on bank secrecy lead to concessions
in the exchange of fiscal information. The accusation of cherry-picking
comes up regularly. Does Switzerland have to fear for its reputation and
economy?
