	East European Constitutional Review
		In Western academic literature, the Bulgarian Roundtable talks are routinely depicted as a well-planned scheme devised by the Communist Party in an attempt to retain its power and stall the process of democratization.
		Ironically, the significance of Bulgaria's Roundtable talks is reflected in the fact that this idiosyncratic institution was repeatedly invoked by the politicians and commentators wrestling with the question of who is to blame for the ills plaguing Bulgarian society after 1989.
		Subsequently, the roundtable negotiations were also blamed for the collapse of the first noncommunist government in 1992 and the electoral victory of the former communists in 1994.

	UN Optimistic About Peace in Cote d'Ivoire
		The United Nations is optimistic that the ongoing movement towards peace in Cote d'Ivoire is being reflected by the presence of all protagonists at the Paris roundtable talks that signalled hope for a definite end to the crisis.
		The Paris talks that have brought together Ivorian political parties including three rebel groups are being touted as the conference ''of the last chance'' in the resolution of the four month old conflict in Cote d'Ivoire which erupted when rebels took up arms against current President Laurent Gbagbo.
		Secretary General Kofi Anan's special representative to the Paris roundtable peace talks on Cote d'Ivoire Ahmedou Ould Abdallah expressed optimism for a resolution of the crisis in an interview with The Perspective soon after the Wednesday opening media briefing session of the talks in the French capital Paris attended by all protagonists to the crisis.

	History of Poland (1989-present) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		These talks broke off in October, but a new series, the "roundtable" talks, began in February 1989.
		The June election produced a Sejm (lower house), in which one-third of the seats went to communists and one-third went to the two parties which had hitherto been their coalition partners.
		The roundtable agreement called for a communist president, and on July 19, the National Assembly, with the support of some Solidarity deputies, elected General Jaruzelski to that office.

		Going into the roundtable the ORT parties were united in their opposition to the HSWP's plan for the immediate establishment of a directly elected president, knowing that it would go to the HSWP's Pozsgay.
		The outcome of the roundtable bargaining in Poland, a pact providing significant reserved domains to the PUWP is generally consistent with the interpretation of the bargaining model, though somewhat contradictory.
		As a result, what they got from the roundtable talks was an election system nearly identical to the opposition's preferred system, a weak presidency filled by the opposition, and an extremely powerful constitutional court (also dominated by the opposition) charged with protecting a completely revised constitution bearing virtually no traces of its communist lineage.

	The Roundtable Talks of 1989
		In Hungary the "velvet revolution" of 1989 was prepared, or rather prompted, by a series of negotiations conducted between representatives of the democratic opposition, the ruling Communist party, and a political group called the "third side" comprising organizations close to the Communist regime.
		As a result of these talks, referred to as the historic "Roundtable Talks", free elections were held in Hungary in 1990, marking the end of the oppressive Communist regime and the beginning of a new epoch in the country's history.
		In the first part of the book - a series of analytical essays - scholars of the Hungarian democratic transition discuss the most relevant aspects of the Roundtable Talks, the actors and organizations participating, the tactics and strategies used, institution building, the new electoral system, and constitutional reform.

		The priority for talks, whether they are roundtable talks or between the governments and parties, is to resolve this crisis and find a route to move forward towards the political stability we all crave.
		The talks today will not be as effective as they could be, because unionist views are being put across second-hand by those who’ve been in discussions with them.

	East European Constitutional Review
		In each of the countries in which Roundtable Talks took place, party leadership became convinced, either by long experience, as in Poland, or through a sudden tectonic shift, as in East Germany, that it would have to make its peace with society.
		In Poland, where Roundtable Talks originated, Solidarity had an obvious claim to represent society, but elsewhere none of the participants in the roundtables, either government or opposition, were in any technical sense representative.
		Everywhere the talks were among elites, unelected party leaders on one side and self-selected oppositionists on the other.
