In this book Wolf Linder explains the way government and politics work in Switzerland. Combining the essence of many empirical studies with his own observations, and giving illustrative examples, the author thoroughly analyses the institutions of federalism, and consensus democracy through political power sharing. With the critical eye of a political scientist, Linder then analyses scope and limits of citizen's participation in direct democracy, which distinguishes Switzerland most from parliamentary systems. The value of the book goes beyond describing Switzerland and its political integration between different languages, religions and cultures. Analyzing the nature of Swiss politics, Linder shows how federalism and political power sharing could help to resolve political conflict in other multicultural societies and to integrate different communities. Central and Eastern Europe as well as countries with minority problems could learn much of value from this study.
