The annual survey "Sicherheit", which is a joint publication by the Military Academy at ETH Zurich and the CSS, evaluates long-​term public opinion tendencies and trends on foreign, security and defense policy issues in Switzerland. In 2023, the Swiss are considerably less optimistic about the future and although the neutrality principle is less strongly supported, it still receives high approval rates. In terms of foreign policy, the willingness to open up and cooperate has increased. Compared to the previous year, the Swiss want to strengthen the defense capabilities of the armed forces. Attitudes regarding Swiss sanctions against Russia remain unchanged. The three greatest threats to Switzerland have also been a focus of interest in this study for the first time. The survey data for “Sicherheit 2023” was collected between 3 and 20 January 2023.
