The 2020 issue of the Bulletin is devoted almost exclusively to Switzerland's corona crisis management during the first wave in the first half of 2020. The first contribution is an interview with the Chief of the Swiss Armed Forces Thomas Süssli. In the subsequent six articles, our authors deal with recommendations for the development of the legal and planning framework for coping with pandemics, pandemic preparedness in Switzerland (Andrin Hauri, Kevin Kohler, Benjamin Scharte, Andreas Wenger), a chronology of crisis management in the corona pandemic’s first phase (Kevin Kohler, Andrin Hauri, Benjamin Scharte, Jan Thiel, Andreas Wenger), the pandemic as a learning opportunity (Andreas Wenger, Andrin Hauri, Kevin Kohler, Benjamin Scharte, Jan Thiel), Switzerland in the European crisis management (Julian Kamasa, Jan Thiel), the Swiss Armed Forces on corona deployment (Michael Haas, Annabelle Vuille) and the new CSS project on the future of nuclear arms control (Oliver Thränert).
