Die Jahresstudie Sicherheit dient der Ermittlung langfristiger Trends in der aussen-, sicherheits- und verteidigungspolitischen Meinungsbildung in der Schweiz. Sie basiert auf im Jahresrhythmus durchgeführten repräsentativen Befragungen. Neben langjährigen Standardfragen werden jährlich ergänzende Themen aufgegriffen: Besondere Aufmerksamkeit wurde 2017 den sicherheitspolitischen Informationskanälen sowie der Social Media-Kommunikation und der Wahrnehmung des Terrorismus und dessen Auswirkung auf das Reiseverhalten geschenkt. ; ISSN:1424-5698
The annual survey «Sicherheit» evaluates long-term trends and tendencies in public opinion on foreign, security and defense policy issues in Switzerland. It is based on representative surveys conducted each year. As well as including a core set of questions that are always included or asked at irregular intervals, the survey also addresses current issues of security policy. In 2018, special attention was paid to the communication efforts of the army regarding a possible mandatory day of orientation for women as well as to the fight against terrorism. ; ISSN:1424-5698
This survey is part of the study series "Security". This series of studies is based on a representative survey of security policy opinion-forming in Switzerland carried out in 1983. This survey was conducted at the Institute of Sociology Unitobler University of Bern by K. Haltiner and was supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation (NRP No. 11 "Security Policy", Project 4.419.0.81.11). Since 1991, opinion-forming in security policy has been collected annually since January/February and published under the title "Security". At the same time, the survey was expanded to include questions on foreign policy and the general feeling of security. The project is now being led by the Military Sociology Lectureship of the Military Academy at ETH Zurich and the Center for Security Studies of ETH Zurich. The aim of these surveys is to identify trends and tendencies with regard to the general perception of security and threats, confidence in institutions and authorities, the degree of cooperation in foreign and security policy, neutrality in general and different views of neutrality, attitudes towards military defence and the interest in security policy. In addition to a core of questions that are asked at all times or at irregular intervals, they are also asked annually on current security policy issues. In 2019, the focus will be on relations between the USA and Switzerland as well as the general global political situation, attitudes towards equal opportunities in the Swiss army. In addition to the trend analysis, the series of studies also focuses on the question of the extent to which attitudes towards the three issues (general security, foreign policy and defence policy) are related to living conditions and political orientation.
Die Jahresstudie "Sicherheit", die von der Militärakademie an der ETH Zürich und dem CSS jeweils gemeinsam publiziert wird, dient der Ermittlung langfristiger Trends in der aussen-, sicherheits- und verteidigungspolitischen Meinungsbildung in der Schweiz. Sie basiert auf im Jahresrhythmus durchgeführten repräsentativen Befragungen. Auch 2019 fühlen sich die SchweizerInnen im Allgemeinen wieder sehr sicher. Befragte beurteilen die Zukunft der Schweiz optimistisch. Dabei nennen sie vor allem die gute Wirtschaftslage und das politische System der Schweiz als Gründe für ihre optimistische Zukunftseinschätzung. Die zukünftige Entwicklung der weltpolitischen Lage wird allerdings signifikant pessimistischer als noch im Vorjahr eingeschätzt. Die Auswertung der Gründe zeigt, dass in erster Linie die Machtpolitik der USA, China und Russland als Gefahr für die Welt gesehen wird. ; The annual survey "Sicherheit", a joint publication by the Military Academy at ETH Zurich and the CSS, evaluates long-term trends and tendencies in public opinion on foreign, security and defense policy issues in Switzerland. It is based on representative surveys of the Swiss electorate conducted each year. The findings of the 2019 edition include that the Swiss generally feel very safe. Moreover, respondents are optimistic about Switzerland's future, citing the good economic situation and Switzerland's political system as reasons for their optimistic assessment of the future. By contrast, the future development of the global political situation is perceived significantly more pessimistically than in the previous year. The analysis of the reasons for this development indicate that, above all, the power politics of the USA, China and Russia are seen to be a threat to the world. ; ISSN:1424-5698
