Abstract

Despite a rhetoric of pro-Europeanism, Radical Left parties in Europe are frequently characterised by Euroscepticism. This creates particular problems for transnational parties. This chapter examines the Party of the European Left (PEL) and the GUE/NGL group in the European Parliament, with a particular focus on how they have responded to the euro-zone crisis. It argues that despite a rhetorical commitment to European cooperation, in fact these parties have consistently failed to deliver any substantive common programmes
