NATIONAL SECURITY POLICY IN SWITZERLAND

Abstract

The national security policy of Switzerland is based upon the specifics of the
Swiss country and it is distinguished with great complicacy and complexity. Hence,
the examination of the security policy should be founded of its complete comprehension
and thorough perception of the conditions in order to avoid improvisation and
partiality. This signifies that the security policy should be rationally founded and to
synthetize the efforts of all of the security actors in order to provide the necessary level
of security, for the society, the nation, and for the citizens. Generally, the altered
nature of security threats conditioned the need for redefining the security policy of
Switzerland and also imposed for adoption of new approaches toward security. Accepting
such reality, Switzerland has to adjust to the new circumstances for the protection
of the national interests and the neutrality policy. The Adaptation of the security
system in the new security environment has to be a reflection and result of
the evident general overall inclusion of all the subjects, which are authorized for enforcing
the security policy.
