	European Parliament Summary
		The debating chamber, the 'hemicycle' of the European Parliament in Brussels.
		Although Brussels is generally treated as the 'capital' of the European Union, and the two institutions of the EU's executive, the European Commission and the Council of Ministers, both have their seats there, a protocol attached to the Treaty of Amsterdam requires that the European Parliament have monthly sessions in Strasbourg.
		Thus the European Parliament is sometimes informally referred to as the 'Strasbourg Parliament' and Strasbourg as the democratic (opposed to bureaucratic) capital of Europe.

	The European Courier \| Turkey and the E.U.
		The very fact that Turkey is so different than the rest of the European states could be a positive catalyst, helping Europe with the creation of a multicultural society, which she claims to envision in her fledgling constitution.
		One thing is certain, Turkey will continue her political and economical growth whether accepted into the E.U. or not; but if the door to the membership in the E.U. closes Turkey will be forced to seek alternative political routes to pursue, something that might not produce desirable results for Europe.
		Expecting the reassessment of the Turkish membership issue just before the French presidential elections, caused the issue to be used by all three main French contenders to boost their political chances.

	The Study Of Europe In the U.S.
		Perhaps the most significant development, however, is the commitment by the European Parliament in 1998 of some $2 million for the support of the study of European integration in the United States, of which the majority is intended to support up to ten European Union Centers at U.S. universities and colleges.
		This diffusion of 'European studies' more widely throughout academic institutions is perhaps one of the most striking changes of recent years and challenges the traditional definition of the field to grow in response.
