Switzerland is considered one of the wealthiest countries globally, and this is largely due to its scientific and academic achievements. Many developed nations study Switzerland's political structure today, and its democracy is seen as a model in the world.

How did Switzerland, which is not a member of the European Union despite being located at the heart of Europe, manage to flourish? How did Switzerland maintain its neutrality during two world wars? What benefits did Swiss neutrality bring to Switzerland?

In their book "Swiss Democracy," Prof. Wolf Linder and Prof. Sean Müller analyze and compare in detail the consensus democracy achieved through the separation of powers and the institutions of federalism. At the same time this book analyzes the boundaries of participation in direct democracy, which makes Switzerland different from many other parliamentary systems.
