  • Chapter
Europe and Asia

Part of the book series: Palgrave Studies in European Union Politics ((PSEUP))

Abstract

This book aims to enhance our understanding of the engagement of the European Union with East Asia and to provide a comparative context in which the characteristics of the two regions can be identified and assessed. It is an edited collection that is distinctively multidisciplinary in approach, bringing together a set of contributions which, although they share common themes, are nonetheless diverse in their subject matter and disciplinary approaches.
