ETH Workshop: World Politics in 2016
On 18 March 2016, as in previous years, the editors and authors of Strategic Trends presented their insights and assertions to an audience of experts as part of the State of Global Politics event. In a second panel, Andreas Rüesch (deputy head of the foreign desk of Swiss daily Neue Zürcher Zeitung), Michele Coduri (section head for international security at the FDFA), and Brigadier General Daniel Lätsch (commander of the general staff school) discussed the significance of these precarious developments for Switzerland. All panelists agreed that, as a small state in the hear of Europe, Switzerland cannot close its eyes to these trends, but should rather, identify the resulting opportunities and risks for the country’s own future actions.
