Abstract: We study the McKean--Vlasov equation on the finite tori of length scale $L$ in $d$--dimensions. We derive the necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a phase transition, which are based on the criteria first uncovered in cite{GP} and cite{KM}. Therein and in subsequent works, one finds indications pointing to critical transitions at a particular model dependent value, $het{a}^{sharp}$ of the interaction parameter. We show that the uniform density (which may be interpreted as the liquid phase) is dynamically stable for $heta<het{a}^{sharp}$ and prove, abstractly, that a {it critical} transition must occur at $heta=het{a}^{sharp}$. However for this system we show that under generic conditions -- $L$ large, $dgeq2$ and isotropic interactions -- the phase transition is in fact discontinuous and occurs at some $heta<het{a}^{sharp}$. Finally, for H--stable, bounded interactions with discontinuous transitions we show that, with suitable scaling, the $heta(L)$ tend to a definitive non--trivial limit as $Loinfty$.
