Italian Government Crisis: Revenge of the Dwarves
The crisis of the Prodi-government and the new cabinet of Massimo D'Alema (DS), the first former communist Italian prime minister... In 28 months Romano Prodi's Olive-coalition (center-left) had led Italy from an almost hopeless financial situation to become a fully respected partner in European Currency Union. Then a coalition crisis caused by the Communists and a negative confidence vote in parliament forced the successful prime minister to step down. Unwilling to face new elections, the major government forces proposed an enlargement of their coalition to forces of the right center, excluding at the same time the most unreliable part of the Communist Party. New prime minister Massimo D'Alema is the first ex-communist leader to govern in a Western European country. The circumstances of this crisis highlight the reasons for the enduring political instability in postwar Italy, a country that has seen 55 different governments in 53 years.

Elections in Germany: New Swing with Schröder
The end of the era Kohl and the chances of the new government coalition lead by Gerhard Schroeder... Helmut Kohl (CDU), one of the great protagonists of European politics, has left the scene after sixteen years in power. His electoral defeat in the Federal Elections of September 1998 signs the end of an era. For the first time German voters have imposed a complete change between government and opposition. Thanks to this outcome the new government coalition between Social Democrats and Greens has now a stable majority in parliament and should be able to realize the substantial change demanded by voters. If the winner Gerhard Schroeder (SPD) succeeds in giving new swing to Germany's economy and reform politics, he can become a great chancellor.

War in Kosovo: Milosevic´s Bloody Track
Since 1989 the Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic has always had a leading role in the painful dissolution of the Yugoslavian Federal Republic. With the NATO air strikes against Belgrade and the Serbian troops in Kosovo, Europe is witnessing now her first air battle since WW II. Without the employment of ground troops, however, the bombs of the NATO will not impress the Yugoslavian president. In fact, with the NATO attack, Milosevic has already killed two birds with one stone: While his people in Belgrade are distracted by the bombs and forced to back their unloved president, the closing down of communications and the lack of witnesses in the Kosovo province have given him the opportunity to finally carry out his ethnic cleansing program with all his might and cruelty.

Elections in Scotland: United Kingdom at Devolution
After almost 300 years Scotland has elected a new Parliament. With the regional elections in Scotland and Wales the United Kingdom has made an important step towards devolution of political power. In both regions voters preferred the Labour Party for its reforms in favor of regional resurrection. Nationalist parties arrived second in both assemblies, while the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats found themselves third and fourth. After its victory in Great Britain´s general elections in 1997, Tony Blair's governing Labour Party had accelerated reforms by two referendums for regional autonomy for both Scotland and Wales. The popular decisions in favor of the reform and now the elections of regional assemblies represent only a first step in a wider reform process that is going to change institutions in the UK.

Crisis in Turkey: Kurd Terrorists and Corrupt Parties
The arrest of the Kurd leader and presumed terrorist Abdullah Ocalan in Rome has caused a complicated international row involving several European nations, among them the NATO partners Turkey, Italy and Germany as well as Russia. The dispute about Ocalan's destiny has represented to the European public opinion the drama of the Kurd nation divided between four states. Meanwhile in the Turkish parliament in Ankara even this difficult affair couldn't keep the parties from overthrowing the government of the conservative prime minister Mesut Yilmaz. Threatened by the growing strength of the Islamic Fundamentalists Virtue Party, the Turkish democracy risks falling into turmoil once again. The new government of Bulent Ecevit should prepare the country for the next general elections in April, but the Turkish military stands ready to defend its Kemalistic tradition and interests.
