A Laboratory of Liberty - The Transformation of Political Culture in Republican Switzerland, 1750-1848

Based on a tradition of political innovation, Swiss citizens recalibrated their understanding of liberty and republicanism through public political debates, during the revolutionary transformation to a rights-based society. The resulting hybrid political culture enhances our understanding of the international Age of Revolution.
