Entanglements between domestic and foreign policy. Diplomatic Documents
of Switzerland 1994

In preparation

Following the acceptance of the «Alpen-Initiative» and the rejection of Swiss troops as UN blue helmets, the Federal Council’s international policy was increasingly being called into question. Strong interference between domestic and foreign policy also manifested itself in the beginning bilateral negotiations with the EU. Other central themes of the edited documents include development cooperation, economic relations with South-East Asia, Africa and Latin America, security policy cooperation in Europe as well as financial, energy and asylum policy. Finally, questions arose about how to deal with the genocide in Rwanda, as well as the conflicts in the former Soviet Union, the former Yugoslavia and the Middle East.
