'European elections are troublemakers: they introduce new electoral systems, new constituencies, and new political groups. They create turbulence within parties and between parties. They facilitate the emergence of new cleavages and the fading away of old ones. Thanks to Michael Bruter, Yves Déloye, and several dozen European collaborators, we now get a better understanding of the new invisible hand that is at work in European democracies. This Encyclopaedia is an indispensable tool for political scientists as well as policy-makers.' - Yves Mény, President of the European University Institute, Florence, Italy.
