    A Consideration of Democratic Participation in Switzerland and Britain with Reference to the Management of an Educational Issue at Local Level in both Countries Robert Kenrick JONES A Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy Institute of Education University of London 2007 VOL. I Acknowledgements I wish to record my thanks to the following people for the invaluable help and advice they have provided. To Professor Richard Topf of London Metropolitan University for his endless patience and the academic insights he has shown me, to the staff of the Institute of Education London University and to Dr Ernest Bollinger former Chef de 1’Information of the canton of Geneva, to Yves Flicker, Lecturer in Social Studies in the University of Geneva and finally to my wife for adjusting our life to facilitate this venture. 2 4 ABSTRACT A consideration of democratic participation in Switzerland and Britain with reference to the management of an educational issue at local level in both countries This thesis is concerned with participatory democracy and its effectiveness in action. The aim of the underlying research has been to examine this form of democracy as it is revealed in one country (Switzerland) and within that to focus on a specific canton (Geneva); secondly to compare it with the democratic structure of the United Kingdom and again focusing on a particular region - the County of Buckinghamshire. In each case, at the local level, I have chosen one sensitive issue - education- and considered how far people participated in their own destinies, written from a United Kingdom background.

  • Switzerland – a Model for Solving Nationality Conflicts?
    PEACE RESEARCH INSTITUTE FRANKFURT Bruno Schoch Switzerland – A Model for Solving Nationality Conflicts? Translation: Margaret Clarke PRIF-Report No. 54/2000 © Peace Research Institute Frankfurt (PRIF) Summary Since the disintegration of the socialist camp and the Soviet Union, which triggered a new wave of state reorganization, nationalist mobilization, and minority conflict in Europe, possible alternatives to the homogeneous nation-state have once again become a major focus of attention for politicians and political scientists. Unquestionably, there are other instances of the successful "civilization" of linguistic strife and nationality conflicts; but the Swiss Confederation is rightly seen as an outstanding example of the successful politi- cal integration of differing ethnic affinities. In his oft-quoted address of 1882, "Qu’est-ce qu’une nation?", Ernest Renan had already cited the confederation as political proof that the nationality principle was far from being the quasi-natural primal ground of the modern nation, as a growing number of his contemporaries in Europe were beginning to believe: "Language", said Renan, "is an invitation to union, not a compulsion to it. Switzerland... which came into being by the consent of its different parts, has three or four languages. There is in man something that ranks above language, and that is will." Whether modern Switzerland is described as a multilingual "nation by will" or a multi- cultural polity, the fact is that suggestions about using the Swiss "model" to settle violent nationality-conflicts have been a recurrent phenomenon since 1848 – most recently, for example, in the proposals for bringing peace to Cyprus and Bosnia. However, remedies such as this are flawed by their erroneous belief that the confederate cantons are ethnic entities.

Geneva has been a place of asylum and refuge for victims of religious persecution since the 16th century and has always been conscious of the richness of its multicultural society and convinced that it is one of its major strengths which favours exchange, dialogue and creativity. In order to promote this cultural richness, symbolised by the presence of 194 nationalities in Geneva, the canton and the communes deploy a great effort to encourage integration, intercultural dialogue and respect for minorities.
