Gender Innovation and Migration in Sw Itzerland PALGRAVE STUDIES IN MIGRATION HISTORY Series Editors: Philippe Rygiel, Per-Olof Grönberg, David Feldman and Marlou Schrover GENDER INNOVATION AND MIGRATION IN SWITZERLAND Francesca Falk Palgrave Studies in Migration History Series Editors Philippe Rygiel École normale supérieure de Lyon Saint-Germain-du-Puy, France Per-Olof Grönberg Luleå University of Technology Luleå, Sweden David Feldman Birkbeck College—University of London London, UK Marlou Schrover Leiden University Leiden, Zuid-Holland, The Netherlands This series explores the history of migration, from antiquity to the present day and across a wide geographical scope. Taking a broad def- nition of migration, the editors welcome books that consider all forms of mobility, including cross-border mobility, internal migration and forced migration. These books investigate the causes and consequences of migration, whether for economic, religious, humanitarian or polit- ical reasons, and the policies and organizations that facilitate or chal- lenge mobility. Considering responses to migration, the series looks to migrants’ experiences, the communities left behind and the societies in which they settled. The editors welcome proposals for monographs, edited collections and Palgrave Pivots.

Such voices, while always individual, allow us to paint a picture of Switzerland’s past that until now was seldom part of either Swiss histo- riography or collective memory. In this way, they bring to the fore not only private, but also structural conditions. And they make it possible to capture the political impact of everyday occurrences that are not passed down in other historical sources.

  • Switzerland's Commentary on Operationalizing the Guiding
    Switzerland’s commentary on operationalizing the guiding principles at a national level, as requested by the Chair of the 2020 Group of Governmental Experts (GGE) on Emerging Technologies in the Area of Lethal Autonomous Weapons Systems (LAWS) within the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons (CCW) Switzerland sees the eleven guiding principles as an important consolidation of basic understandings on emerging technologies in the area of LAWS among the High Contracting Parties (HCP). The principles can guide current and future work in the multilateral context, notably the consideration and development of the normative and operational framework in the GGE. In addition, HCP may consider their operationalization at the national level, notably in the context of complying with international humanitarian law (IHL) rules and satisfying ethical concerns in the context of these emerging technologies. Switzerland holds the view that human control is necessary to ensure IHL-conformity. Such human control can be applied at various stages of the life cycle of an autonomous weapon system (AWS), including the design phase. Switzerland is also of the opinion that the actual decision to deploy an AWS and the assessments and decisions regarding its use in a specific attack remain eminently critical touch points in the human-machine interaction and must be retained within a responsible (military) chain of human command and control with structures and processes that ensure IHL-conform decisions in the use of force, including AWS. Switzerland holds that an AWS would run contrary to guiding principle A and would be unlawful: if 1) the outcomes cannot be reasonably predicted, or; 2) the effects cannot be limited in accordance with IHL or 3) the system otherwise cannot be used in accordance with IHL.

  • Swiss Or Foreign Women? Why the Tfr Is a Misleading Measure
    LIVES WORKING PAPER 2018 / 73 WHO HAS MORE CHILDREN IN SWITZERLAND: SWISS OR FOREIGN WOMEN? WHY THE TFR IS A MISLEADING MEASURE MARION BURKIMSHER; CLÉMENTINE ROSSIER; PHILIPPE WANNER RESEARCH PAPER http://dx.doi.org/10.12682/lives.2296-1658.2018.73 ISSN 2296-1658 The National Centres of Competence in Research (NCCR) are a research instrument of the Swiss National Science Foundation LIVES Working Papers – Burkimsher et al. Author s Burkimsher, M. (1) Rossier, C. (2) Wanner, P. (2) Abstract The Swiss Federal Statistical Office publishes data showing that the TFR of foreign women is much higher than for Swiss women. However, statistics from household registration (STATPOP) and from the Family and Generations Survey (FGS) indicate that foreigners have slightly smaller families than Swiss women. How can we reconcile this apparent contradiction? To do this we follow the fertility of cohorts of Swiss and foreign women through their reproductive life. In addition to birth registrations and population totals by age (the input data for calculating the TFR) we also include data on how many children women have at the time of their immigration, emigration and naturalisation. Using these input data, we compiled the fertility profiles of Swiss and foreign women aged 15-49 (cohorts 1965-2001); these correspond well with the FGS and household register data. Most immigrants arrive childless and start childbearing in the years following arrival; hence, younger foreign women in Switzerland have higher fertility than Swiss women. However, the ongoing inflow of low fertility women ‘dilutes’ the average fertility of older foreign women. Naturalisation–which is more frequent for women with children–significantly impacts the fertility profile of ‘Swiss’ and ‘foreign’ women.

  • The Cornerstones of the Swiss Security Policy
    S t r o n a | 187 „Ante Portas – Studia nad Bezpieczeństwem” 2016, nr 2(7) Claude Bonard Switzerland THE CORNERSTONES OF THE SWISS SECURITY POLICY Summary: In order to comprehend the specific features of Switzerland and its security policy in today’s geopolitical context, the author first refers to the historical figure of Lieutenant Colonel Franz von Erlach, who participated in the Polish insurrection of 1863 as an observer, drawing valuable conclusions therefore, which had at the time an impact on Swiss military thinking. He then follows with a short overview of Swiss military history, which subsequently leads to situating contemporary Switzerland in its geographical, political and institu- tional environment. Finally, the author addresses the essential aspects of Swit- zerland’s current national defence, military organisation and security policy. Keywords: Swiss Armed Forces, territorial defence, Swiss security policy Poland and Switzerland – two democratic states of law: analogies and differences Whereas Poland is a parliamentary republic, Switzerland is a federal state, or a Confederation of 26 administrative cantons, each of which has preserved its sovereignty, government, parliament and courts, while renouncing part of its sovereignty as regards diplomacy, national defence, customs and currency – for which they delegated responsibility to the superior state, i.e. the Swiss Confed- eration. Certain competencies are shared between the Confederation and the cantons. The special characteristic of the Swiss Confederation, whose creation dates back to 1291, is that it is composed of four linguistic regions. Four na- tional languages are spoken in the same country: French, German, Italian and Romansch. In Poland, just as in Switzerland, the Constitution sets out the rights, the division of competencies and the organisation of the state.

    FLUIDS AND BARRIERS OF THE CNS Fluids and barriers of the CNS: a historical viewpoint Liddelow Liddelow Fluids and Barriers of the CNS 2011, 8:2 http://www.fluidsbarrierscns.com/content/8/1/2 (18 January 2011) Fluids and Barriers of the CNS Liddelow 2011, 8:2 FLUIDS AND BARRIERS http://www.fluidsbarrierscns.com/content/8/1/2 OF THE CNS REVIEW Open Access Fluids and barriers of the CNS: a historical viewpoint Shane A Liddelow Abstract Tracing the exact origins of modern science can be a difficult but rewarding pursuit. It is possible for the astute reader to follow the background of any subject through the many important surviving texts from the classical and ancient world. While empirical investigations have been described by many since the time of Aristotle and scientific methods have been employed since the Middle Ages, the beginnings of modern science are generally accepted to have originated during the ‘scientific revolution’ of the 16th and 17th centuries in Europe. The scientific method is so fundamental to modern science that some philosophers consider earlier investigations as ‘pre- science’. Notwithstanding this, the insight that can be gained from the study of the beginnings of a subject can prove important in the understanding of work more recently completed. As this journal undergoes an expansion in focus and nomenclature from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) into all barriers of the central nervous system (CNS), this review traces the history of both the blood-CSF and blood-brain barriers from as early as it was possible to find references, to the time when modern concepts were established at the beginning of the 20th century.

Bringing together original historical research on the radical press and close readings of Yiddish avant-garde poetry by Moyshe-Leyb Halpern, Peretz Markish, Yankev Glatshteyn, and others, I show that the development of anarchist modernism was both a transnational literary trend and a complex worldview. My research draws from hitherto unread material in international archives to document the world of the Yiddish anarchist press and assess the scope of its literary influence. The dissertation’s theoretical framework is informed by diaspora studies, gender studies, and translation theory, to which I introduce anarchist diasporism as a new term.
