Center for German and European Studies :: UC Berkeley Institute In 1990, the government of the Federal Republic of Germany chose the University of California as one of the original three "Centers of Excellence" in the United States, along with Harvard and Georgetown. The mission of these centers is to encourage activities that will increase American understanding of contemporary developments in Europe, and particularly in Germany.

Just for the record, these are the customary differences between Left and Right: To one extent or another, the Left believes, supports, promotes (or does not entirely oppose) ... Of course, most people would probably consider all these principles to be good in moderation and bad in excess -- which explains why we have politics. One further note: The dividing line between left and right is always relative, and each nation splits wherever the 50:50 line falls in local public opinion. Tough calls and various anomalies: The political parties in Ireland, the youngest of the West European states, are still extremely local in issues and orientation, and they don't quite fit the left/right mold.
