“…References [46,47] have analyzed one aspect of macro-culture and norms and values, the emergence of a new type of warrior in Archaic Greece, the hoplite (named from his big round shield, the 'hoplon') and the new tactical formation, the phalanx, as coordination and cooperation mechanisms which give rise to specific mental attitudes, values and norms, even a specific language (e.g. clear commands for battle) and learning and knowledge.…”

Looking back at the history of Switzerland, we can identify some structural changes in the economic, social and cultural environment, also in the spiritual perceptions and attitudes of citizens. These may constituted the basis for the creation of specific standards and played a crucial role in the political and economic course of the country. In this study we examine how institutions can explain the emergence and establishment of democracy in Switzerland. We investigate various aspects of human activity in Switzerland trend since the beginning of its emergence, in order to use the tool of macro-culture that includes shared values, norms and beliefs that characterize the members of a society. Important aspects in the country's history are opening trade passages, alliances, military tactics and religion. The standards and values spun from the above aspects were transferred gradually to the political field. Finally, it is highlighted that these values contributed decisively in forging a strong polity with robust elements of direct democracy.

In the present essay, we analyse the development of the proto-federations of the democratic city-states. We examine the political institutions and policies developed in the Achaean federation such as common defense and external policy, military organization, representative federal bodies like popular assemblies, parliament, generals as military and political commanders, federal finance ministers, etc., as well as its economic institutions and policies: common currency, federal budget and federal revenues. We offer arguments as to why the Achaean federation emerged and proved successful and finally, we offer some ideas as to how the Achaean federation would have faced a series of current global issues such as the European Union integration, global terrorism, etc.
