It was supported by a grant from the Volkswagen Stiftung of the Federal Republic of Germany. The introductory chapter by the editors presents a scenario for a possible future European security system. Six essays by active NATO and WTO military officers focus on the role of military forces in such a system. Various approaches to the tasks and size of military forces in this regime of strict non-provocative defence are presented with the intent of providing new ideas for the debate on restructuring of forces in Europe.

Trilingual Education in Switzerland*
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by RERO DOC Digital Library Trilingual education in Switzerland* CLAUDINE BROHY Abstract The Swiss Confederation is known for its historical multilingualism. The four national languages are, however, unequally distributed among its in- habitants. Individual foreign-language competence, including English, also varies strongly. The educational system reflects cantonal di¤erences. The article distinguishes between strong, intermediate, and weak forms of trilin- gual education. The strong form can be found at university level, the inter- mediate form includes all bilingual models with a course in one additional language, and the weak form is found frequently, in particular, in secondary education. A new model of multilingualism emerges with two national lan- guages, plus English. Research has thus far dealt mainly with the outcomes of bilingual education, but in the near future will focus more on the di¤er- ences between second- and third-language learning and the outcomes of tri- lingual education. 1. Introduction For centuries or even millennia, the territory of what is now called Swit- zerland has lain at a crossroads of di¤erent languages and cultures. The indigenous Celtic population was overwhelmed by the Roman army at the time of Christ’s birth, like the rest of Europe, which led to the Romanization of the region. As the Germanic invasions swept over the territory, from the sixth century AD on, the Alamans contributed to the development of a German-speaking population living alongside the Romance communities, which emerged from the contact of the former population with the Romans. -

The Open Debate in Stans is open to the general public. We are looking forward to a diverse, interactive and creative discussion with people from various backgrounds and with high-level panelists. You can also participate with our Livestream. The gender dimensions of social conflict, armed violence and peacebuilding are multifaceted and complex. Twenty years after the path‐breaking UN Security Council Resolution 1325, gender has been mainstreamed into most peacebuilding activities but adequate implementation on the ground is hampered by the current lack of evidence‐ based promising practices. The r4d research project "Gender Dimensions of Social Conflicts" tries to overcome this lack and assembled gender, security and conflict researchers from Indonesia, Nigeria, Switzerland and the United Kingdom (UK). -
Defence White Paper of the Republic of Slovenia
DEFENCE WHITE PAPER OF THE REPUBLIC OF SLOVENIA 2020 Dear Readers, Both in everyday life, and in the operation and development of a country, we occasio- nally need to stop and strategically assess our efforts to see whether they are leading towards the desired objective. The result of our strategic reflection is the Defence White Paper of the Republic of Slovenia, which represents a high level of consistency of views within the defence sector on the future security environment, and on the necessary measures to enhance the country's defence capacity, taking into account real human, economic and other capabilities. The purpose of the Defence White Paper is to define a gradual long-term development of the Republic of Slovenia’s defence system in order to ensure the necessary levels of capacity and preparedness for the implementation of national defence, and the fulfilment of the adopted international obligations. I believe that, through diligent work and analysis, we have acquired a good basis for directing the further development of the defence system, which will be able to function effectively and in accordance with its mission. This document provides guidance for the change, reform and strengthening of both military and non-military defence mechanisms to meet the contemporary security challenges. It provides the starting point for the preparation of planning documents which will specify the key defence objectives by 2035, and the way they are implemented. The security of the country and its citizens is not self-evident and should not be taken for granted. It is a benefit and a value that is directly related to the existence of a nation, a government, a democratic system, the sovereignty of a state, the protection of one's identity, the exercise of human rights, and other interests of nations and states.
