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.

In 2020, the focus will be on the level of defense policy knowledge among the Swiss electorate, the reasons for the perceived necessity and non-necessity of the armed forces, the compatibility of militia and career, and the benefits of militia experience for career and everyday life.

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 2016 these were: measures to maintain internal security, division of tasks between police and private security companies, assessment of contact with the police and private security companies, fear of crime, subjective feeling of security in public space, and an open question as to which tasks the Swiss army should fulfil from the point of view of the Swiss electorate.

The European Commission's Eurobarometer surveys, originally conceived as opinion barometers on European integration, are now large-scale surveys that regularly cover important public life issues in addition to a core of standard questions. For the Swiss social sciences, the Eurobarometer is intended to offer Switzerland the opportunity to receive regular information on population attitudes towards European integration. On the other hand, it should enable researchers in psychology, educational science, sociology, political science, business administration and economics to analyse the attitudes and behaviours of the Swiss population on a broad database and compare them internationally.1st subproject: Representative survey of the Swiss resident population (headed by Franz Haag). The survey contains the following topic groups: Attitude towards European integration, personal and general economic situation, party affinity, attachment to institutions (especially to neutrality, federalism and direct democracy), spatial and cultural identification, environment. After the 1992 EEA vote, various polls and analyses were conducted on the result of the vote, which examined, among other things, the motivations of supporters and opponents. Some authors conclude that the individual economic impact of the voters was decisive. In contrast, other researchers show that motivations of a socio-cultural nature and motives for identification have determined the voters' decision. The political science part of the 1999 Eurobarometer survey in Switzerland is intended to help answer the controversy over economic versus socio-cultural factors in relation to European integration. The Eurobaromter survey in Switzerland is to be conducted at least once a year until 2003.
2nd subproject: Development of a teaching tool on the web (director: Eugen Horber). In Switzerland, secondary analysis of data sets is not yet very common. The Eurobarometer is ideally suited for such secondary analyses and therefore this subproject aims to develop a teaching tool to discuss the answer to a research question using a secondary analysis of the Eurobarometer data sets. The work instructions and "exercises" are to be published on the web. The teaching material is primarily aimed at professors in method training. The professors select and communicate the subject matter and, as far as possible, adapt the teaching material to their specific interests and didactic goals.
