Based on a tradition of political innovation and experimentation, Swiss citizens recalibrated their understanding of liberty and republicanism from 1750 to 1848. The resulting hybrid political culture centered around republican ideas, changing understandings of liberty and self-rule. Drawing from the public political debates in three characteristic cantons, A Laboratory of Liberty places the Swiss transformation into a European context. Current trends in Revolutionary studies focus on the revolution in its global context and this book demonstrates that the Swiss case enhances our understanding of the debates over the nature of liberty in the transatlantic world during the Age of Revolution. 410 0$aStudies in Central European histories ;$vv. 54. 606 $aPolitical culture$zSwitzerland$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aPolitical culture$zSwitzerland$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aLiberty$xPolitical aspects$zSwitzerland$xHistory 606 $aRepublicanism$zSwitzerland$xHistory 606 $aSelf-determination, National$zSwitzerland$xHistory 606 $aRevolutions$zSwitzerland$xHistory 606 $aSocial change$zSwitzerland$xHistory 607 $aSwitzerland$xPolitics and government$y18th century 607 $aSwitzerland$xPolitics and government$y19th century 607 $aSwitzerland$xSocial conditions 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPolitical culture$xHistory 615 0$aPolitical culture$xHistory 615 0$aLiberty$xPolitical aspects$xHistory. 615 0$aRepublicanism$xHistory. 615 0$aSelf-determination, National$xHistory. 615 0$aRevolutions$xHistory. 615 0$aSocial change$xHistory. 676 $a306.209494/09033 700 $aLerner$b Marc H$0936543 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457385103321 996 $aA laboratory of liberty$92109616 997 $aUNINA
