This lecture explores the evolution of the Swiss Confederation from the 14th to the 19th century, focusing on the differentiation between urban and rural cantons, the impact of the Reformation, and the linguistic divisions. It also discusses the concept of consociativism in Switzerland, the benefits of cross-cutting cleavages, and the country's strategic position in Europe.
