European Elections monitor Friday 25th July 2008
The European Elections Monitor provides you in depth analysis on elections in Europe with three-step studies:

* Analysis : One month before the election, a reminder of the results of the last election, an analysis of the political players and what is at stake.
* D-7 : One week before the election, a round-up of the electoral campaign, a summary of the opinion polls and an objective commentary.
* Results : After the election, the detailed results and a complete analysis of the election.

The Robert Schuman Foundation is therefore willing to contribute towards building better knowledge of European issues.

This journal of the European Elections is prepared by Corinne Deloy under the guidance of Dominique Reynié, professor at the Institute for Political Research Paris
