Accurata LI-9495 Triesen Wirtschaftsprüfung AG www.accurata.li 2 Chères Consoeurs, Chers Confrères, Dear Friends, Dear Guests, The Bailliage of Liechtenstein will be celebrating its Grand Chapitre from 15 – 18 August 2019. At the same time, this is the year in which the foundation of the Principality of Liechten- stein 300 years ago is being commemorated. For me it is a pleasure and above all an honour to be present at this celebration. For 300 years, the Princes of Liechtenstein have succeeded in living peacefully with their neighbours Switzerland and Austria. The same applies to the Bailliage Liechtenstein, which has nurtured friendly relations with these neighbouring countries for almost 40 years. Despite being a small bailliage, my friend Bailli Délégué Daniel Jäggi and his National Council is dedicated and noted for superb hospitality, gastronomy and culture. A good reason for many guests from all over the world to enjoy all this in a beautiful landscape. I am looking forward to celebrating an exceptional Grand Chapitre with many guests and friends.

Meikle This dissertation examines the reception and function of US culture in Switzerland after World War II. The study surveys the developments in Swiss material culture, literature and lifestyles against the background of the ongoing debate over the post-war Americanization of Europe. As the rest of Europe, Switzerland imported many American products in the decades after the war: consumer goods, films, technology and also elements of language. American occupation accelerated the cultural transfer from the United States to Germany. Today, many Swiss think that they are just as Americanized as the Germans. This dissertation is an attempt to uncover how this perceived Americanization happened in a European country whose contact with the United States was quite different from the one its neighbors experienced.

Ihre Landespolizei Foreword. We safeguard your security. Security is a prerequisite for people to feel secure in their surroundings. Security creates quality of life. Safeguarding this security is one of the essential tasks of the National Police. However, security is not measured merely with objective criteria such as, for example, crime statistics. A key component is the general sub- jective sense of security. The simple fact that people know Liechtenstein has an effective and efficient National Police, able to arrive at the scene of a crime within the shortest possible time, helps create a positive feeling of security. A further element of this subjective sense of security is the circumstance that in Liechtenstein children are still able to walk to school unaccompanied, or that residents can leave their houses without having to lock their doors. At the same time, it is one of the central tasks of the senior police management to meet new challenges in the fight against crime and to prepare the National Police for future challenges. This is important in order to ensure that people in Liechtenstein continue in future to feel they are living in a secure country.
