Franklin Political Risk and Opportunity Index (FRISKOP)
In the Energizing Breakfast Club (EBC) of Wednesday November 2, The Franklin Political Risk and Opportunity Index (FRISKOP) was presented. FRISKOP is an initiative by Oliver Strijbis, Bernd Bucher, and Juliette Schwak, Professors of Political Science at FUS. It is the first political risk index that combines quantitative measures of the probability of geopolitical events and an assessment of their potential economic impacts.听
The aim of FRISKOP is to make the FUS more visible both among academics and practitioners by providing frequently updated and accurate political risk assessments. According to Strijbis, political risks can be understood as the combination of the likelihood of a political event happening and its potential impact on the economy. Hence, it describes the expected harm or benefit from a political event in the future. This information is crucial for political risk analysist in varying fields spanning from NGOs and the media to the finance and insurance industry. Consequently, FRISKOP will be useful for a large international audience.
FRISKOP is based on innovative methodology including prediction market forecasts. Prediction markets are virtual stock markets on which 鈥渢raders鈥 bet on the likelihood of future political events. The data used for FRISKOP stem from 鈥 a prediction market conducted at the University of Zurich. In order to estimate the potential economic impact of these political events, Strijbis, Bucher, and Schwak additionally conduct an expert survey among scholars and practitioners in IR and political economy.
It is planned that FRISKOP will go online in January 2023.
FEATURED PUBLICATION
The Ottoman Consul during the Cholera Epidemic of 1867
This article reconstructs the international management of the choleric wave in the Adriatic Sea during the summer of 1867. It aims to write a short history of the fight against cholera in the 1860s from an Ottoman perspective. In this period, the Ottoman consular network played a pivotal role in monitoring the spread of epidemics in the eastern Mediterranean. In their dispatches and reports, the Ottoman consuls described and analysed the sanitary measures adopted in their territories and by other countries, such as the Kingdom of Italy, the Principality of Montenegro and Austria-Hungary. In doing so, they highlighted positive and negative outcomes of sanitary measures and described their personal contribution to the containment of epidemics.
Students & Alumni
Jordan Ricker '16
At Franklin, I learned how to see things not just from one perspective, but from听multiple (and sometimes contradictory) perspectives, all of which are important in providing a more holistic view of a situation. This has helped me tremendously听in my development both personally and professionally, as I was able to apply听both my classroom and out-of-classroom learnings听when I worked in Ghana and South Africa for a travel start-up and needed to successfully work with various different stakeholders with varying racial, socio-economic, linguistic, national, and ethnic backgrounds.听
听
Regarding my educational听pathway after Franklin, I first completed a bilingual French/English MA in Contemporary European History at the University of Luxembourg, and I am now pursuing an MA in Comparative History at Central European University (CEU) in Vienna, Austria.听
The rigorous academics and the multicultural setting at Franklin allowed me to hit the听ground running with these MA programs, as the University of Luxembourg is a tri-lingual university with approximately half of its students being international while CEU has more than 70% of its students coming from outside the EU. Additionally, CEU's demanding academic environment feels encouraging rather than intimidating due primarily to my experience at Franklin of professors focusing on the individual intellectual development of students.
As such, it was a very natural transition from Franklin to these other听international universities for me. The skills I gained at Franklin, especially intercultural awareness, academic rigor, and an open mind, have been incredibly听useful assets in both my professional and academic journeys as well as in my own personal development. I wouldn't trade my experience at Franklin for anything.
Eric Bishel '20
Words like 鈥渋nterdisciplinary鈥 and 鈥渢ransnational鈥 have become higher-ed buzzwords these days, gracing college websites from Rome to Shanghai.
Speaking from my own experience, few have been able to embrace these concepts as successfully as Franklin. With a combined major in Political Science and History, I spent my time exploring new ways to use these disciplines side by side. My studies culminated in my thesis, 鈥淚nstruments of Memory: Human Rights Memorials for the Holocaust鈥, which explored the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as a new kind of memorial for mass suffering. In its writing, I drew both on independent research but also, quite strongly, on the classes that I had taken. I went through my old syllabi, for readings and class discussions that had made such an impact on me that I still remembered their content years later. As time has gone on, I still find myself drawing on what I learned at Franklin in conversations and experiences. 听
听
It encouraged me to think outside borders, bridging gaps across cultures and preparing me for a workplace like the UN, where everyone is the only one from their country. Franklin took me to three continents and 12 countries, each with their own distinct ways of working, governing, and living. Inter-cultural communication and inter-disciplinary experience are the best training one can get for a career in international policy, where quick and creative engagement with foreign ideas is a necessity. Franklin facilitated and engaged both those things, giving me the tools and knowledge I need to understand and explore the world.听
Campbell Pair '22
My name is Campbell Pair and I am from Atlanta, Georgia, United States of America. I am a senior majoring in International Relations, with minors in Legal Studies, Italian, and History. Over the course of my time here at Franklin, I have had opportunities and experiences that I could not have had anywhere else听鈦犫攆rom meeting the Georgian Speaker of Parliament, to sitting in on a meeting at the OSCE in Vienna, to being able to attend the Athens Democracy Forum in Athens, Greece.
听
In addition to these opportunities, being able to learn from Professors that have had experiences working in their fields and have not focused only on the academics of the course subject, allows for a perspective that is difficult to research. Moreover, it is the professors and staff that have allowed Franklin to have such a positive impact on me; talking with them not only concerning classes but also about current events and our own lives. They have encouraged me to seek various different career paths, including what I am now planning on doing once I graduate, which will be to work on political campaigns in the U.S.听
Nauf Mawla '11
What I loved most about Franklin is that from the moment you step foot onto campus, you become part of a multinational and cross-cultural environment that stays with you long after you graduate. It鈥檚 an experience that everyone deserves, and I would do it again in a heartbeat!

Professor Hoey Presents Research at the United Nations
Professor听Fintan Hoey听recently participated in the听听of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) at the United Nations in New York. Along with other members of a global research consortium on the听Constitutional History of the NPT, he presented preliminary findings to an audience of delegates, civil society representative and NGO professionals.
The NPT was negotiated in the late 1960s and came into force in 1970. Members either commit to not developing nuclear weapons or, in the case of states in possession of nuclear weapons, to disarmament. The treaty, while far from perfect, is credited with preventing the far wider spread of nuclear weapons in the last half century. Disarmament by the nuclear weapons states remains unrealized.听
Prof. Hoey presented his听听on Japan鈥檚 approach to the treaty in the 1960s and 1970s. Despite being the only country to have been attacked with nuclear weapons, Japan was not an automatic supporter of the treaty. It feared the permanent loss of status associated with the denial of a nuclear weapons option. It also feared that access to the peaceful applications of nuclear physics, most notably in the field of energy production, would not be available if Japan were to adhere to the treaty. Ultimately, these fears were largely assuaged, and Japan signed and ratified the treaty (1970; 1976).
The research consortium on听the Constitutional History of the NPT, which has been generously funded by the听, is writing a new history of the formation of the NPT from multiple perspectives. Led by听听of the Air War College and听听of Southampton University, it brings together 21 historians and political scientists from all five continents to analyze the perspectives and experiences of 18 countries and one international organization, the International Atomic Energy Agency. The consortium aims to make a significant intervention into the scholarship on the foundation of the NPT regime. In addition, it is hoped that this enriched common understanding will be relevant and useful for today鈥檚 policy makers, NGOs and other stakeholders in the global non-proliferation and disarmament community.
This is a particularly critical time for the NPT as it faces multiple pressures. Non-nuclear weapons states, frustrated by the lack of movement on disarmament, concluded a new听听which came into force in 2021. Meanwhile nuclear weapons states are听听their nuclear forces while the ongoing war in Ukraine has led to the most serious听听in decades. It is therefore vital that policy-makers and wider publics understand the origins and meaning of the NPT which, for all its shortcomings, has become an entrenched norm in the international system over the last half century.
Lugano Dance Project | CHP Division
Dancing Free: the LAC Dance Program听is a feature documentary project directed by Professor听Elettra Fiumi, diving into the creative process journeys of the three choreographers, leading to the women鈥檚 final shows at Lugano鈥檚 LAC museum in late May 2022. In parallel, Fiumi is teaching a COM course on video production in the Spring of 2022, which takes the听Dancing Free听as a rallying ground; significantly, the course opens the possibility to involve students and FUS in the project through aspects of filming practice and site that can be used for the production of FUS visual imagery.
Morris Mottale - A debate on Joe Biden's America
Prof Morris Mottale was interviewed on November 19 in the Rete Uno studios of RSI, intervening in a听debate about Joe Biden's America, between innovations and disappointments.
"The U.S. president managed to initiate one of the most important reforms in the country's history by getting Congress to vote on a $1.2 trillion plan to modernize the country's infrastructure. He ended the institutional instability of his predecessor. Yet Joe Biden's popularity is at an all-time low, his style is unconvincing and in foreign policy, he is always unmoored from Donald Trump, not to mention the repercussions of the Afghan fiasco. As for his deputy Kamala Harris, she seems to have disappeared from the proscenium. With Gaja Pellegrini Bettoli Italian-American analyst and journalist, Morris Mottale professor of international relations at 天美影院, Mario del Pero expert on the United States, professor at Science Po (Paris), Emiliano Bos recently returned from the U.S. where he was RSI correspondent."
Prof. Fintan Hoey HIS 275 Travel
Nothing brings home the reality of a divided society in Northern Ireland like a visit to the 鈥楶eace Wall鈥 which divides the Protestant and Catholic communities in Belfast, Northern Ireland. In my Academic Travel, HIS 275T History of Modern Ireland, students learn about the causes and legacies of sectarian division in Ireland prior to traveling there and understand these things on a conceptual level. However, seeing the 鈥楶eace Wall,鈥 which is actually a fortified barrier running through the city, underscores the visceral nature of this continuing divide. This experience is heightened by meeting and interacting with local experts, many of whom lived through periods of political violence when they were the age the students are now.
Prof. Satomi Sugiyama: adding touch to our repertoire of everyday mediated interactions?
Mobile communication technologies, from smartphones to wearables, made it possible for us to communicate with our loved ones beyond geographical constraints. We can talk to them, hear them, see them, and feel their presence through technologies on the move even if they are physically absent. Although these technologies largely rely on the interface that we touch as exemplified by the now so familiar touch screen, technological mediation of our touch is still not commonly practiced. Do we desire to communicate our touch, a sense that is heavily intertwined with our affective, emotional experiences, over distance? I am currently exploring why we want or don鈥檛 want to add our touch to our repertoire of everyday mediated interactions. This ongoing research has been presented in several conferences in the past year including the听鈥淪ocially Useful Robots in the era of social distancing and new normal - The needs, applications, barriers and solutions,鈥 European Robotics Forum in April 2021.听
Dr. Schwak was invited to give a guest lecture at University of York
In February 2021, the Department of Social Policy and Social Work at the University of York (UK) welcomed Dr. Schwak from 天美影院 for a guest lecture. In this lecture entitled 鈥楨xporting K- quarantine: Korea鈥檚 promotion of its COVID management strategy鈥, Dr. Schwak explored the South Korean government鈥檚 recent strategy to share its COVID-19 policies with foreign counterparts. Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, Korea has initially been one of the few countries to limit the spread of the disease. Many state leaders have turned to the Moon government to ask for help in dealing with the health crisis.
The Korean government has expressed its formula for fighting the disease as 鈥榯race, test and treat鈥 (TTT), and it is currently devising a strategy to export this approach through the 鈥楰-Quarantine鈥 model. This talk discussed how the export of 鈥楰-Quarantine鈥 fits Moon Jae-in鈥檚 strategy of technological leadership and how it responds to Korean administrations鈥 decades-old export of Korea鈥檚 economic development experience. It also showed that 鈥楰-quarantine鈥 is a commercial strategy to secure markets for Korea鈥檚 health industries, and a promotional strategy in line with Korea鈥檚 competitiveness and nation branding concerns. The talk was followed by a Q&A session with faculty and graduate students from the Department. 听
Prof. Fintan Hoey
Prof. Fintan Hoey is currently part of an exciting global research consortium on the Constitutional History of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) funded by the Carnegie Corporation of New York to which I will be contributing a study of Japan鈥檚 role in the emergence of the treaty regime. The project will involve workshops in Southhampton, UK and Washington DC and will result in a major publication on the NPT as well as a series of policy background briefing papers for participants in the Treaty鈥檚 Review Conference.听
Professor Schwak interviewed on France Culture radio | South Korea: the power of industrial dynasties
Professor听Juliette Schwak听from the Division of Communication, History and Politics at Franklin听has recently been interviewed in听the 鈥楥ultures Monde鈥 program of the French national radio "."听
The听episode was part of a series on听the politics of Made in Asia听focusing听on South Korean industrial dynasties, the chaebol. Professor Schwak is a specialist in听South Korea鈥檚 political听economy, and she has published several articles in leading outlets on state-business relationships in South Korea. In particular, she has recently explored the challenges of reforming the chaebol to limit their dominance over South Korea鈥檚 economy.听
In the program,听she discusses chaebol鈥檚 weight in South Korea鈥檚 economy and the criticisms and reform attempts faced since the country鈥檚 democratization in the late 1980s. As she explains in the program: "The chaebol benefit from a certain aura because they embody South Korea鈥檚 economic miracle, and many South Koreans are proud of their achievements. At the same time there is strong public resentment against the chaebol: they make up more than 80% of Korea鈥檚 GDP but they only create about 10% of all jobs in the country. Many South Koreans also see them as concentrating economic opportunities and creating social inequalities. And on the other side of the political spectrum, economic liberals accuse the chaebol of hindering industrial innovation."听

The role of (negative) emotions in group formation processes
Profs Bernd Bucher and Juliette Schwak are collaborating with Prof. Giulia Miniero (Division of Business and Economics) on a research project focused on the role of (negative) emotions in group formation processes. Adopting a discourse analysis methodology, this project takes a processual-relational perspective and specifically focuses on 鈥榩ractices of hating鈥 in online forums to better understand the relationship of cognitive and emotional dimensions of actions and their role in generating and upholding group cohesion. Research workshops with invited participants are currently planned for the 2021-2022 academic year.
Grant-funded Research | Pandemics and Borders
天美影院 is leading a听听funded by the Swiss Network for International Studies () entitled听鈥淧andemics as Driver towards Modern Borders and International Collaboration in 19th Century Mediterranean and South-Eastern European Periphery.鈥澨齌he project is led by Franklin鈥檚听Professor听Marcus Pyka, as Coordinator, and Professor听Bernd Bucher, as Co-coordinator, and supported by fellow post-doctoral researcher Dr. Giorgio Ennas as principal investigator.
The project team will be focusing on understanding the complex interrelations of managing pandemics and the creation of national borders in the 19th century, especially in the Mediterranean and South-Eastern Europe. The research deals with how sanitary and quarantine measures were in the past linked to political and diplomatic decisions and how these were tied to the creation of national identities and borders. Simultaneously, it traces how international cooperation between states became possible. At base, the research aims to answer and examine the following questions:
- How did attempts at sanitary control impact the emergence of national identities and borders between states?
- How were bordering practices tied to international cooperation efforts?
- What were the (unintended) consequences of pandemic control measures on the perception and practice of borders more generally?
Open Divisional meetings and the Research Forum
The Division of Communication, History and Politics now regularly conducts divisional meetings that focus on faculty research projects and that are open to students and faculty from other divisions.
At a broader level, we also traditionally organize the FUS Research Forum which aims to provide FUS faculty members across disciplines with a platform to discuss research in its early stages and to enter into an ongoing intellectual exchange. Over the years we have had many contributions with topics ranging from a comparative lexical-stylistic analysis of William Shakespeare and John Florio to grasping the development of voter behavior in Germany, to empirically measuring how European Banks work in practice.
Should you be interested in setting up a Research Forum, please contact: bbucher@faculty.fus.edu
Lecture Series
Thanks to the support of our Trustee Laurent Belet, Prof. Bucher and the politics faculty regularly organize public lectures focusing on contemporary challenges and possible solutions. Over the course of each academic year, we invite leading scholars from diverse disciplines which addressed not only Franklin students and faculty, but Alumni and the Lugano community at large.

Negotiating Protection: Ottoman-Swiss Relations and the Inclusion of Switzerland into a Diplomatic Germansphere during the First World War
Professor Giorgio Ennas' article, entitled听"Negotiating Protection: Ottoman-Swiss Relations and the Inclusion of Switzerland into a Diplomatic Germansphere during the First World War" has been featured in "" journal.
This paper investigates how, during the First World War, the Ottoman government and Switzerland finally negotiated, with German mediation, an agreement on diplomatic relations based on international law and 鈥渞eciprocity鈥. Despite the affinity of part of the Swiss population with France, Swiss citizens were temporarily placed under German protection, creating a modus vivendi between the Ottomans and the Swiss. In this way, Swiss interests in the Ottoman Empire were included in a diplomatic system dominated by Germany and its Austrian ally.
Deindustrialization fosters ethnonationalism; a comparative analysis of ethnonational parties in Western Europe, 1918-2018
Affiliated Professor Oliver Strijbis has published a new article on ethnonationalism in the European Political Science Review. In his article, he demonstrates that the process of deindustrialization has strengthened ethnonationalist movements in Western Europe. More specifically, he shows that a decline in the industrial labor force has led to an increase in vote shares of ethnonationalist parties such as the Scottish Nationalist Party or the Flemish Interest (Vlaams Belang). The reason is that with deindustrialization the class conflict is weakened, which allows instead for mobilization along ethnonational divisions. For his analysis, Strijbis compared 15 ethnonational movements in Western European between 1918 and 2018.
Connecting the Two Seas: Negotiating an International Modus Vivendi 鈥 Italian and Ottoman Diplomacies in the Suez-Red Sea Area
听
Dr. Giorgio Ennas contributed to the publication of the book听Italy and the Suez Canal. From the Mid-Nineteenth Century to the Cold War. A Mediterranean History (Edited by Barbara Curli) writing the chapter听Connecting the Two Seas: Negotiating an International Modus Vivendi 鈥 Italian and Ottoman Diplomacies in the Suez-Red Sea Area.
In this chapter, Dr. Giorgio Ennas analyses the creation of a new inter-imperial border and the search for a new modus vivendi between the Ottoman empire and the Kingdom of Italy in the 19th century. Moreover, he describes the diplomatic negotiations behind the transformation of the political status of the Eastern Mediterranean, Suez Canal and Red Sea areas between the second half of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century. He shows how the opening of the Suez Canal produced an effective expansion of the Eastern Mediterranean geopolitical area, which gradually included the Red Sea.
Dr. Bernd Bucher and Dr. Julian Eckl publishing in 鈥淚nternational Theory鈥
Conceptualizing and examining the role of world sports events in international society.
Dr. Bernd Bucher and Dr. Julian Eckl, from the University of St. Gallen, have recently published in the prestigious journal, 鈥淚nternational Theory鈥, Cambridge University Presses鈥 interdisciplinary and academic journal, which promotes theoretical scholarship about the positive, legal, and normative aspects of world politics respectively.
The article, entitled 鈥淔ootball's contribution to international order: The ludic and festive reproduction of international society by world societal actors鈥 examines the role of world sport events in reproducing international society as a whole, not just individual states. The analysis of the role of world sport events, especially FIFA's World Cup and the infrastructure of football, leads to the conclusion that these allow for the ludic and festive reproduction of key primary institutions, while making international society experienceable as competition-based practices footing on shared norms and values.
听
Dr. Bucher commented: 鈥淭his study is primarily about better understanding the role of diverse types of actors in (de)stabilizing international order. As such, our contribution mainly aims to advance conceptual debates concerning the relationship between international and world society. We really enjoyed writing a piece that will also be of interest to those working on rituals and the sociology of sports. It was a great opportunity to work on a project that neither of us could have written alone, and it was great taking this piece on the road to international conferences, especially because the empirical focus of the article is not what one would expect of either Julian or myself. We were really pleased with the review and publication process, not least because we had research and proof-reading support from Franklin student Danielle Lopez-Cecetaite in the final stages of the project. Involving students at the undergraduate level in research is really a unique feature of Franklin, and a great example of how to integrate teaching and research in a mutually beneficial way.鈥
The article is now available on the and will go into print in the course of the year.
