✦ Synopsis

Much more than a simple examination of EU-Asia relations, this book examines the idea that the EU may constitute a model for East Asian regionalism. It challenges specialists on the EU to understand the EUs impact on Asia and Asias impact on the EU whilst illustrating that there is a commonality of interests in both Europe and Asia.
