Summary/Abstract: Conference held from February 14-16, 1997, focusing on the institution of political parties in an international context. The event, organized by the Institute for German and European Party Law in Hagen, Germany, featured prominent participants from academia, politics, and various countries. Key topics included the future of democracy in the information society, the state of political party law research in Germany, and the role of political parties in the European Union. The conference highlighted the integration of electronic communication in parliamentary democracy and the interpretation of Article 138a of the Maastricht Treaty regarding European political parties. Presentations from international participants provided insights into political party institutions in their respective countries. The conference underscored the inseparability of political party law from the broader political context and identified the financing of political parties as a persistent issue. Overall, the event facilitated valuable exchanges of otherwise hard-to-access information.
