In this part of the Bulletin, Boas Lieberherr and Benno Zogg deal with the current debate on the introduction of a general compulsory service for both genders in Switzerland. This idea is increasingly discussed in Switzerland and is met with widespread sympathy. According to the authors, however, the debate is still new and undifferentiated. A general compulsory service would be equivalent to a fundamental system change and would have far-reaching consequences in terms of security, state and economic policy.
