Handbook on Liechtenstein's political system presented to the public
The new handbook offers those interested an up-to-date overview of the central facets, aspects and organs of Liechtenstein's political system in compact articles.
In addition to institutions such as the Princely House, Parliament, government, administration, municipalities, parties, associations, media, church and jurisdiction, the individual articles deal with referendums, the electoral system, voting behavior, small statehood, political culture and the topic of sovereignty. Other articles deal with Liechtenstein's economic structure, international relations, the education system, civil society, small statehood and equal opportunities.
To improve readability and comparability, all contributions are structured in the same way. They each begin with a short abstract and keywords, followed by an introduction. The following chapters briefly outline the history, the legal basis and the relevant theories. The main chapter then deals with the empirical findings that emerge from the research literature. An international comparison and a conclusion round off the individual contributions. The handbook is the first volume in the new "Schriftenreihe des Liechtenstein-Instituts", which is published by the renowned Nomos Verlag.
The publication can be obtained from bookshops or directly from Nomos Verlag:
