Email: [email protected] Phone/Text: 617.733.1962, Available weekdays, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. COURSE DESCRIPTION This course will take you through Switzerland and parts of France to explore the unique aspects of the Swiss Reformation, including the development of Calvinism, the rise of Radical Reformers, the persecution of Anabaptists, and Geneva’s significance to Protestant reform around the world. Students will gain insight into important Swiss reformers, Calvinist and Reformed theology, and the social, cultural, and political landscape that influenced and shaped the Swiss Reformation, giving it its distinct and far reaching form. Visits to numerous churches, monasteries, castles, and museums will allow students to see one-of-a-kind artifacts of the Reformation, and travel throughout the region will provide important geographical insight and an eyewitness glimpse into the history of the Protestant Church. COURSE OBJECTIVES • Trace the major historical developments in Reformed tradition from the Late Middle Ages through the Reformation, Confessional Era, and into the present • Discuss and process important political, social, and religious events and movements that converged to stimulate the Swiss Reformation • Analyze the contributions of some of the major figures of the Swiss Reformation • Explore the far-reaching tendrils of Calvin’s theology, and the significance of Geneva as the “Protestant Vatican” 1 • Consider the significant
  • Switzerland Welcomes Foreign Investment and Accords It National Treatment

    Switzerland Welcomes Foreign Investment and Accords It National Treatment

    Executive Summary Switzerland welcomes foreign investment and accords it national treatment. Foreign investment is not hampered by significant barriers. The Swiss Federal Government adopts a relaxed attitude of benevolent noninterference towards foreign investment, allowing the 26 cantons to set major policy, and confining itself to creating and maintaining general conditions favorable to both Swiss and foreign investors. Such factors include economic and political stability, a transparent legal system, reliable and extensive infrastructure, efficient capital markets and excellent quality of life in general. Many US firms base their European or regional headquarters in Switzerland, drawn to the country's low corporate tax rates, exceptional infrastructure, and productive and multilingual work force. Switzerland was ranked as the world's most competitive economy according to the World Economic Forum's Global Competitiveness Report in 2013. The high ranking reflects the country’s sound institutional environment, excellent infrastructure, efficient markets and high levels of technological innovation. Switzerland has a developed infrastructure for scientific research; companies spend generously on R&D; intellectual property protection is generally strong; and the country’s public institutions are transparent and stable. Many of Switzerland's cantons make significant use of fiscal incentives to attract investment to their jurisdictions. Some of the more aggressive cantons have occasionally waived taxes for new firms for up to ten years but this practice has been criticized by the European Union, which has requested the abolition of these practices. Individual income tax rates vary widely across the 26 cantons. Corporate taxes vary depending upon the many different tax incentives. Zurich, which is sometimes used as a reference point for corporate location tax calculations, has a rate of around 25%, which includes municipal, cantonal, and federal tax.

La crise du coronavirus a eu un impact massif sur les transports publics. Au cours de sa session spéciale début mai 2020, le Parlement a été actif et a envoyé une motion demandant au Conseil fédéral, en collaboration avec les cantons et les entreprises de transport, de préparer un projet de loi sur la manière de compenser les pertes de recettes induites par le recul massif de la demande. Le Conseil fédéral a agi rapidement et il a élaboré une proposition sur la compensation des pertes de recettes estimées d'un volume de 800 millions de francs. La proposition a été soumise à consultation. Le secteur des TP fait face à des défis majeurs : nous devons à nouveau convaincre la population de prendre les transports en commun, rétablir la confiance, et prouver qu'ils ne représentent pas un risque, mais bien plutôt une partie de la solution d'une mobilité fiable, efficace et écologique. J'ai été très impressionné par la façon dont les membres de la LITRA et leurs collaborateurs ont géré la crise du coronavirus jusqu'à présent ainsi que par l'engagement exceptionnel dont ils ont fait preuve. Une fois de plus, les personnels ont démontré que les trains, les bus, les bateaux et les remontées mécaniques constituent la colonne vertébrale de notre société mobile.

Regional economic disparities in Switzerland are among the lowest among OECD countries. With a productivity growth of 1.7% per year over the period 2008-14, Ticino not only had the highest level of productivity in 2014 but also recorded the largest growth among Swiss regions. Following a significantly lower productivity growth (0.1% per year), Zurich was replaced by Ticino as the frontier region in terms of productivity in Switzerland in 2010. With a youth unemployment of 15.6% in 2017 that was similar to the OECD average, Lake Geneva had the highest youth unemployment in the country. Youth unemployment in Central Switzerland only amounted to 4.1%, 11.5 percentage points below the youth unemployment rate in Lake Geneva.
