Visions of Utopia in Switzerland

Edited by Joy Charnley and Malcolm Pender.

The essays discuss differing notions of Utopia from the eighteenth to the twentieth centuries in relation to Switzerland and the often chastening confrontation of these notions with reality. Following on the constitutional reform put in place in 2000, this volume aims to set in context the debate about the kind of society Switzerland wishes to become - isolationist or open to Europe, narrowly traditional or widely multicultural. 113 Seiten, broschiert (Occasional Papers in Swiss Studies; Vol. 3/Peter Lang Verlag 2000) Mängelexemplar/near mint
