Federal Chancellor Walter Thurnherr Those who argue in this way have not understood the es- sence of democracy. There are countries where the govern- ment controls the people. And there are countries where the people control the government. Democracies fall under the second category. It is true that even authoritarian regimes sometimes make decisions that are supported by the majority. But there are no rules defining how the majority can overturn decisions if they no longer agree with them. Democratic procedures take longer, but over the years, they provide more stability and engender greater acceptance. Those who want to preserve democracy respect the institu- tions, the independence of the courts, the competences of the different powers and the fundamental values of the con- stitution.

Elle profite, en effet, d’un fort soutien au sein du parlement fédéral ainsi qu’auprès de la population. Ce soutien se traduit par des mesures protectionnistes et d’aides directes n’ayant pas d’équivalent dans les autres branches économiques. Ce statut d’exception, la politique agricole l’a depuis la fin des deux guerres mondiales. Ce présent travail s’in- téresse donc aux raisons expliquant la persistance de ce soutien. Il a été décidé de s’appuyer sur l’approche développée par Mayntz et Scharpf (2001) – l’institutionnalisme centré sur les acteurs – et de se pencher sur le mythe en tant qu’institution réglementant les interactions entre acteurs (March et Olsen, 1983).

  • 1 Embassy of India Berne ***** India-Switzerland Relations A. Introduction India and Switzerland Have Had Cordial and Friendly R
    Embassy of India Berne ***** India-Switzerland Relations A. Introduction India and Switzerland have had cordial and friendly relations since India’s Independence, based on shared values of democracy and rule of law. India’s policy of non-alignment and Switzerland’s traditional policy of neutrality led to a close understanding between the two countries. Switzerland established diplomatic relations with India soon after Independence. A Treaty of Friendship between India and Switzerland was signed at New Delhi on August 14, 1948; one of the first such treaties to be signed by independent India and an important milestone in Indo-Swiss relations. In 2018, India and Switzerland celebrated the 70th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Friendship. The relations between India & Switzerland have achieved new heights following the visits of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi to Switzerland in 2018, 2016 and Swiss President Mrs. Doris Leuthard to India in August/September 2017. The Joint Statement issued during the visit of the Swiss President in 2017 noted the India-Switzerland relations as ‘A Long Standing Dynamic Partnership’. Switzerland has an Embassy in New Delhi and Consulate Generals in Bengaluru and Mumbai; it also has Honorary Consuls based in Kolkata and Chennai. There is a Swiss Business Hub in Mumbai, and a Swissnex office in Bangalore. The visa section of the Swiss Consulate in Mumbai, till February 2016 when it was closed and transferred to the Embassy of Switzerland in New Delhi, was issuing the maximum number of visas by any Swiss Consulate. India has an Embassy in Berne and a Consulate General in Geneva.
