Many observers questioned the impact of the vote accepted by a slight majority of the Swiss people. The European Commission regretted the decision, the BBC warns that it \u201ccould spell disaster for Switzerland\u2019s booming economy\u201d (Foulkes 2014), the NY Times presented it as \u201ca move that could have far-reaching implications for Switzerland\u2019s relations with the European Union\u201d and that \u201ccertainly won\u2019t be good for the economic vitality and prosperity in this country\u201d (Eddy 2014). On this date, the Swiss People\u2019s Party (SVP) referendum \u201cagainst mass immigration\u201d was accepted with 50.3% of the votes in its favour. The initiative called for a limit to be imposed on the number of foreign nationals residing in Switzerland by introducing numerical ceilings and quotas, and thus calling into question the free movement of persons. The vote marked a further stage in implementing anti-immigration policies in the country.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author(s) : Christelle Maire Source : https:\/\/link.springer.com\/chapter\/10.1007\/978-3-658-10442-9_13 Abstract:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kadence_starter_templates_imported_post":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[285,37,360,32,152,9,98,115,361],"class_list":["post-1137","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics","tag-285","tag-attitudes-towards-migrants","tag-audiovisual-media","tag-book-chapter","tag-discourse","tag-english-language","tag-immigration-policy","tag-mass-media","tag-referendums-and-initiatives"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1137","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1137"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1137\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1137"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1137"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1137"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
