Abstracts

National minorities in Switzerland should be divided into traditional minorities and the so-called new minorities, i.e. those which have developed in effect of immigration in the last 50 years. The role of national minorities in the political system of the country is shaped by the specificity of direct democracy. The influence of politics, and especially of the people’s initiative and the referendum, on legal regulations concerning minorities have not been fully researched in the literature thus far. The aim of the article is to demonstrate this influence and, specifically, to analyze the dependency of the status of non-Christian minorities in Switzerland on the elements of direct democracy in the country.
