SN - 9789004291423 U1 - RR 337.142095 PY - 2017/// CY - Leiden PB - Brill KW - European Union KW - European Contraries KW - International Economic Relation KW - Diplomatic Relation KW - China KW - East Asia N2 - In China, East Asia and the European Union specialist authors from both Europe and Asia reflect on the dynamic relationship between the three actors from an International Relations perspective. The book is a testimony to China s seemingly unstoppable rise, both in the East Asian region and in the relationship with the EU and its member states. The authors investigate why the economic links between the European Union and East Asia have become so firmly established, while in comparison the political bond has remained underdeveloped. They conclude that the crises the EU is currently facing seriously affect its manoeuvring space vis-a-vis China and its neighbours, both economically and politically.
