Politorbis is a review of Switzerland’s foreign policy published by the FDFA in German and French. The 58th edition entitled “Bei Not und Krise im Ausland” (Distress and Crisis Abroad) was produced by the Relations with the Swiss Abroad division at the FDFA’s Consular Directorate. It outlines the development of Switzerland’s consular protection and crisis management from the Luxor attack in 1997 to the present day. From issues faced by travellers to moving accounts of experiences from people involved in crisis management, this edition is a fascinating read with its wide-ranging topics.
