Is Switzerland a reliable security partner for Europe? ZHAW article for "De Facto"
What place does Switzerland have within the new security developments on the European continent? Dr Alina Nychyk and Felix Lisibach from the ZHAW Center for Geopolitics and Competitiveness explore this question in an article for the political portal De Facto.
New challenges require new responses. With the Russian full-scale invasion going on for the fourth year in Ukraine, continued Russian provocations against NATO states, expanding hybrid threats and uncertainty in the transatlantic partnership in the Trump era, European countries are investing more heavily in their own militaries and tightening security cooperation with like-minded partners in Europe.
Switzerland can no longer assume that old frameworks will be sufficient in such a rapidly evolving threat environment. Therefore, one can ask: what place does Switzerland have within these new security developments on the European continent and is it a reliable security partner?
In their article for the Swiss political portal "De Facto”, Dr Alina Nychyk and Felix Lisibach from the ZHAW Center for Geopolitics and Competitiveness provide answers.
