Abstract

[fre] Résumé Sans minimiser le rôle que les transversales alpines suisses ont joué dans les échanges européens, cette étude tente de donner une meilleure appréciation de leur influence en tenant compte non seulement de leur position géo-stratégique, mais aussi de la structure même du trafic des voyageurs et des marchandises. En dépit des difficultés inhérentes à la nature des sources statistiques, nous constatons une très grande spécialisation des flux : la verticalité des liens assurés par ces percées suisses reflète plus les spécificités de l'économie italienne que la vitalité de l'expansion allemande. [eng] Abstract Without minimizing the role that Swiss transalpine train routes played in European trade, this study seeks to evaluate their influence by taking into account three factors : their strategic geographic location, the structure of commercial trade, and the development of passenger traffic. Despite problems inherent in statistical sources, a distinct specialization in flows is evident : the north-south links secured by these Swiss routes reflect the specific characteristics of the Italian economy rather more than the vitality of Germany's economic expansion.
