CfP: Conference "Switzerland as an Incubator of Political Ideas for the Future of Central and Eastern Europe Between 1848 and 1918"
Over the course of the 19th century, Switzerland became one of the most important destinations for political exiles in Europe, including those from Central and Eastern Europe. Its central geographical location, its democratic constitution and extensive freedoms of the press and assembly made Switzerland an important place of refuge. Cities such as Zurich, Geneva, Lausanne and Bern became hubs for political activity in exile.
