In this part of the Bulletin, Amos Dossi and Sophie-Charlotte Fischer deal with the possible implications of the Ukraine war for Swiss cooperation strategies in the field of security and defense. While Switzerland has been building a close-knit and institutionally firmly anchored network of multilateral relationships in the field of European internal security policy since the 1990s, it has limited its cooperation on defense policy to the military-political working level, relying primarily on bilateral and minilateral formats. This model worked well for a long time; However, the changed security situation and adjustments by partner countries suggest further development and diversification. Against this background and based on CSS internal analyses as well as external expert opinions, Dossi and Fischer outline concrete options for action.
