China, the European Union, and the International Politics of Global Governance

the long version

"This volume addresses two major themes in contemporary international relations: Sino-European relations and global governance. In its focused analysis of Sino-European relations, global governance serves as both a topic for analysis and a conceptual framework to join together individual chapters. The editors, expert Chinese scholars, have brought together a diverse group of established and promising young scholars from China, Europe, and elsewhere.In the first part, contributors share perspectives on Sino-European relations from three major theoretical approaches. In part two, discussions are focused on China and the EU's roles and interactions in several major global institutions. The third part moves on to China and the EU's relations in several major issue areas. This book has important implications for Chinese foreign policy, the European Union and the future of global governance, and international relations at large"--
