Abstract

Švicarska kao mali, ali prepoznatljivi akter u globalnoj politici, specifičan je ponajviše radi svoje neutralnosti. Njezin pristup odbijanja pristupanja međunarodnim organizacijama logična je posljedica neutralne vanjskopolitičke strategije. No, unatoč njenoj izoliranosti i stajanju u zaleđu međunarodne suradnje, ona je uspjela uspostaviti globalne odnose kroz koje ostvaruje svoje interese pogotovo u području gospodarstva. Švicarska služi kao uspješan primjer male države koja se može pohvaliti gospodarskom razvijenošću koja pruža visoke standarde, političkim uređenjem sa jakom autonomijom i učestalim korištenjem instrumenata izravne demokracije. Promjene u međunarodnim odnosima, posebice nakon Hladnog rata, zahtjevale su spajanje tradicionalne neutralnosti sa aktivnijem sudjelovanjem u međunarodnim organizacijama (EFTA, UN), na što je uspjela odgovoriti na svoj način. Iz međunarodne perspektive, u tom je procesu je prošla kroz razne faze - od blistavog imidža i uloge uzora, do europskog srca tame kroz osude.

Abstract (english)

Switzerland as a small, but recognizable actor in global politics is specific to its neutrality. Its approach to refusing acces to international organizations, is a logical consequence of a neutral foreign policy. However, despite its isolation and offside-position in international cooperation, it has been able to establish global relations through which it realizes its interests, particularly in the field of economy. Switzerland can be used as a successful example of a small state, that can boast of economic development that provides high standards, political regulation with strong autonomy and frequent use of direct democracy instruments. Changes in international relations, especially after the Cold War, required the joining of traditional neutrality with more active participation in international organizations (EFTA, UN), to what Switzerland was able to respond in its own way. From the international perspective, Switzerland was gone through various phases in this process – from a glorious image and role model to other states, to the European heart of darkness through condemnation.
