Recognized by historians and politicians as a model for European unity, Switzerland is nonetheless a difficult country to understand as a whole. Whereas individual Swiss cities have strong identities in the international political, cultural, and economic arenas, the country itself seems to be less than the sum of its parts. To capture the elusive spirit of Switzerland, four eminent writers explore the roots of its political unity and cultural diversity in a series of urban portraits. Their observations make for both good storytelling and insightful social commentary. Nicolas Bouvier offers a quick-paced history of Geneva--the city John Calvin had envisioned as a radiating center of godliness, international in its scope and legal in its methods--the home of the Red Cross and the League of Nations and, since 1945, the location of numerous disarmament and diplomatic conferences. Gordon Craig examines Zurich, the city of the militant religious reformer Huldrych Zwingli, whose centralizing political zeal was harnessed by subsequent generations of Zurichers to lead Switzerland in its modernization. Today's economically powerful Zurich is analyzed in terms of its liberal past as a refuge for political activists and artists, and in terms of its current generational divisions on moral and cultural questions. Finally, Lionel Gossman explores the conciliatory Basel of Erasmus, showing how vigorous independence, resourcefulness, and remembrance of its humanist traditions shaped the city's culture and economy. Tying together important themes in the histories of these cities, Carl Schorske focuses his introduction on how Switzerland has capitalized on their cultural differences and refined the art of political negotiation to serve a wide range of civic interests. Originally published in 1994. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

En 1994, les Presses universitaires de Princeton publient un ouvrage intitulé Geneva, Zurich, Basel : History, Culture & National Identity. On demande à Nicolas Bouvier de s'occuper du chapitre sur Genève ; il écrit dix pages dans lesquelles il aborde avec lucidité et non sans humour ce qui a fait la spécificité de la ville, tout comme les grands noms qui ont marqué son histoire. En commençant par la guerre des Gaules, il fait la part belle à tous les "grands thèmes genevois" : rigueur du protestantisme calviniste, banques, pédagogie, botanique, humanitaire... On y découvre le double visage d'une République qui, au fil des siècles, a tantôt recueilli quelques-unes des plus grandes personnalités étrangères, tantôt rejeté ses plus illustres penseurs ; une République qui, parce qu'elle a toujours été prise dans l'étau de puissances adverses et parfois hostiles, a su se façonner une identité propre ; et où les sciences ont pu trouver un terrain de développement favorable alors même que les arts sont souvent restés en rade. Sans complaisance mais avec une évidente affection pour sa ville natale,

Codification Of Administrative Procedure written by Jean-Bernard Auby and has been published by Primento this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2013-11-27 with Law categories.
The law on administrative procedure regulates the processes through which administrative decisions and administrative projects are elaborated. It is more and more regarded as essential in administrative laws: it is really considered as the central part of it in some systems. In many jurisdictions, rules concerning administrative procedure are codified, gathered in a single piece of general legislation: in a few, it remains non codified. The book is made of the different contributions presented on the topic to the last congress of the International Academy of International Law (Taipei, 2012): national reports on twenty countries and a general report. These contributions examine the way administrative procedure became codified, the obstacles which had to be overcome, the main orientations of the codes, their evolution in time; alternatively, they explain why administrative procedure is not codified. Providing extensive materials on an issue which is a concern in many administrative laws and many administrative systems, the book is intended for all searchers and experts in administrative law and public management, whether academics or practitioners.
