OPAL Online Paper Series

Opal-logo

 

The Online Paper Series was launched in 2011 by the Observatory of Parliaments After Lisbon (OPAL), a scientific consortium of Maastricht University, Sciences Po Paris, University of Cambridge and University of Cologne (funded by the national research councils of the Netherlands, France, the UK and Germany). OPAL Online Papers are published at www.opal-europe.org, and will simultaneously appear below. The OPAL Online Paper Series will continue within the framework of PADEMIA after the OPAL project has ended.
