Summary:

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 United States, 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.
