Volume 17 of Swiss Diplomatic Documents covers the period from June 1947 to June 1949, which is marked by rivalry between the democratic countries and communist states and the partition of Europe. Swiss diplomacy participates both in European reconstruction and international conferences. It endeavours to maintain its relations with Europe's communist states and solve the problems resulting from nationalization. The most serious challenge facing Switzerland during these initial stages of the Cold War is how to continue with its policy of neutrality.
