Das politische System Liechtensteins

In 23 compact chapters by prominent experts from the Liechtenstein Institute, this handbook provides the most up-to-date and complete knowledge available on all facets of Liechtenstein’s political system, including topics such as the concept of the small state, the Princely House, popular rights, elections and foreign policy.
Each self-contained chapter spans the spectrum of topics relating to Liechtenstein from historical developments, the legal situation, the state of international research and empirical findings to international comparisons. This weighty compendium answers questions such as: What contributed to the country’s enormous economic upswing? How do princely power and direct democracy work together? How can a micro-state participate in the ‘concert of powers’? Facts and analyses previously scattered throughout special publications are gathered here in one place. The book’s editors are authorities on politics in Liechtenstein at the independent Liechtenstein Institute.
