Professor Richard Luther, Convenor of the Keele European Parties Research Unit (KEPRU) was in Rome last week at the invitation of the social-democratic Foundation for European Progressive Studies.

It had co-organised an international seminar on "Democratic Legitimacy and Political Leadership in the European Union", attended by numerous senior European politicians and academics.

Invited because of his expertise on contemporary political parties, Professor Luther had been requested to participate in a discussion on 'The Future of European Parties'.

His contributions included reporting the findings of KEPRU research on the impact of EU membership on the distribution of political power within national political parties, as well as his research on social-democratic responses to the challenge of the populist radical right in Western Europe.
