自20世纪80年代初以来，越来越多的研究关注国际化现象。然而，到目前为止，国际化对机构和决策过程的影响问题在很大程度上被忽视了。在本文中，我们试图通过分析国际化如何影响瑞士的决策体系来克服这一弱点。为此，我们提出了两个研究假设。第一个涉及国际化对决策机构的影响，而第二个则侧重于其对精英冲突程度的影响。这些假设在联邦议会1995-1999年立法任期内通过并提交三个主要直接民主机构之一（即民众倡议、任择全民投票和强制性全民投票）的所有立法法案中得到检验。我们的研究结果表明，除了自主调整的情况外，具有较强国际成分的立法行为的特点是议会前协商程度较低，以及议会冲突水平较低
Since the beginning of the 1980s, a growing number of studies have focused on the phenomenon of internationalisation. Yet, so far, the question of the impact of internationalisation on institutions and decision-making processes has largely been neglected. In this article we attempt to overcome this weakness by analysing how internationalisation has affected the Swiss decision-making system. To this end, we develop two research hypotheses. The first one deals with the effects of internationalisation on decision-making institutions, while the second one focuses on its impact on the degree of elite conflictuality. These hypotheses are tested on all legislative acts adopted by the Federal Assembly during the 1995-1999 legislative term and submitted to one of the three main direct democratic institutions (i.e. popular initiative, optional referendum, and obligatory referendum). Our findings show that, with the exception of cases of autonomous adaptation, legislative acts with a stronger international component arecharacterized by a weaker degree of pre-parliamentary consultation, as well as by a lower level of parliamentary conflict
