Security Policy Perspectives
Geopolitical shifts coupled with societal and technological developments are creating new uncertainty worldwide, and thus in Europe too. Added to this is Russia’s war against Ukraine in Eastern Europe. Avenir Suisse’s latest publication looks into the implications of these developments in terms of the thrust of Switzerland’s defense policy. Investments in security will have to be geared more closely to new threat patterns. Transnational cooperation will have to be strengthened, and cyber-defense competencies will have to be built. |

Switzerland, the Land of Subsidies
Subsidies experienced a veritable renaissance with the coronavirus pandemic. While the granting of subsidies is at least transparent at federal level, in the cantons and municipalitiesthere’s an impenetrable thicket of support measures. Few benefit, but everyone pays. For this reason, Avenir Suisse calls for greater transparency and restraint in the granting of subsidies. |
