What are the essential functions a state must perform? This question is particularly pertinent in a small state such as Liechtenstein. After all, resources in small communities are limited, and Liechtenstein is accustomed to cooperating with its neighbours.

The project ‘State Functions in a Small State’ analyses the economic activities of Liechtenstein’s public enterprises and the public functions delegated to private entities. The focus is on analysing Liechtenstein’s laws, EEA law and other international agreements. The project was funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) from October 2017 to September 2020 (project number 10001C_173313).

Starting from the question of which tasks a state must perform, Patricia Schiess turned her attention to the topics of public broadcasting and media funding. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
