ABOUT THE BOOK
fjrigjwwe9r0pp_Books:Description
The
book traces the various contemporary interactions between Europe, essentially
the European Union, and the emerging big economies of Asia, primarily China and
India. Covering strategic partnerships, the environment, values and human
rights, international organisations, trade and investment, the author considers
that Europe and emerging Asia could be natural partners with considerable
synergy in fashioning a new multi-polar world, but are handicapped by their
respective internal weaknesses, lack of self-confidence, and the considerable
influence of the United States despite the probability of its rebalance to Asia
proving to be a non-starter. This book explores the limitations of the present
in Europe-Asian relations, and the potential for the future.
