Description: "Swiss Foreign Policy, 1945-2002 presents for the first time a comprehensive collection of eight essays addressing the post-war foreign policy of Switzerland. They deal with a diverse range of issues: the evolution of Swiss foreign policy in general and of neutrality in particular; changes in Swiss defence and security policy.

Swiss relations with the United Nations and the recent decision to join the world organisation; the Swiss policy of good offices; the Swiss government's relations with the International Committee of the Red Cross; the development of Swiss policy in the area of human rights; policy changes in the fields of arms control and non-proliferation; and Swiss foreign economic policy.

Through these essays, the dualistic nature of Swiss foreign policy, being at once both strongly internationalist and strongly unilateralist, is examined."--Jacket.
