	Towards a European left party
		This political transformation of the PRC is one of the determinant elements serving to sharpen differentiation within the CP tradition.

	European Political Science
		Research on China's political development and above all on prospects for the country's political stability will have to take account of the collapse of one of the most important pillars of the political rule of the CCP: absolute and unrestricted control of political information.

		Our future research agenda will have to concentrate not only on whether and how use of the Internet may endanger political rule in non-democratic systems, but also on whether and how such systems might be able to use modern information technologies in order to stabilise the rule of their political leadership groups.

		Some argue that European integration weakens the left/right dimension without fundamentally challenging existing party systems; others claim it creates or reinforces a second dimension of contestation; and still others discern possibilities for partisan re-alignment.

		We seek crossfertilization of theoretical and empirical work on political parties in Europe and beyond, with a central purpose: to understand the effect of European integration on national political party systems in East and West.

		Even as Europe flounders in its search for cohesion, and Europeans retreat further into their national identities, 32 Green parties have founded the first pan-European political party with a transnational election platform and continental reach.
		European Green parties are divided among themselves on fundamental issues such as how much power national governments should cede to EU bodies: The German Greens are federally minded, while the British and Scandinavian parties are more 'Euroskeptic.' The Danish Green party refused even to sign the common electoral platform.
		I think all the parties are concerned, and will soon be asked to take common positions on the main political issues the New Europe is facing.
