This fascinating book examines the cultural changes that are
reshaping Switzerland—a society that illustrates the effects of
high levels of prosperity and globalization. It assesses changing
mass values in Switzerland from 1989 to 2007, analyzing data from
successive waves of the Swiss component of the World Values Survey.
The editors, Simon Hug and Hanspeter Kriesi, have assembled a
talented group of young Swiss social scientists who have
insightfully analyzed changes in the political and cultural values
of the Swiss public, and the origins and implications of these
changes.
