China-Europe Relations : Perceptions, Policies and Prospects PDF

The fast-developing relationship between China and Europe has become one of the most important in international affairs. China-Europe Relations takes an innovative and insightful look at this phenomenon, examining:

• the state of Chinese studies in Europe and European studies in China
• the decision-making behind the EU's China policy, and what the Chinese perceptions and assessments are of Europe that shape China's Europe policy
• the recent rapid growth of bilateral commercial and technological relations
• the global context of the bilateral Sino-European relationship, in particular the interaction of China, the EU, and the United States
• prospects for the future evolution of these relationships.

The most systematic and comprehensive study on the subject to date, written by a stellar team of international contributors from China, Europe and the US, China-Europe Relations will appeal to students, academics and policy makers alike who are interested in international relations, comparative foreign policy and Chinese and European politics.
