Beschreibung
The papers contained in this book reflect the ideas presented at the colloquium held on the same
subject. The event, sponsored by the Nordmann Foundation, was organized to the memory of the
late Jean Nordmann by Prof. Claude Klein, Jerusalem, and Prof. Thomas Fleiner, Institute of
Federalism, University of Fribourg. Jean Nordmann and his family have always supported the
good relations between the University of Fribourg and the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. The
Nordmann Foundation was later created to develop further the cooperation between the two
universities, thus contributing substantially to the understanding of the Jewish and Christian
communities, notably in Switzerland.
