Europe and the Asia Pacific

Book abstract:

Europe and the Asia Pacific:
Both Europe and the Asia Pacific agree their relationship is increasingly important. For many years it has been considered the weakest leg of the trilateral international system with US/Europe relations at the forefront. In the last few years, however, real efforts have been made to broaden and enhance the ties that bind Europe and Asia.

This book, which is a product of the Council for Asia-Europe Co-operation (CAEC), a body of think tanks which supports the Asia-Europe Summit Meeting (ASEM), seeks to provide a comprehensive analysis of Europe/Pacific Asia relations. It is organised into five sections that examine the basic aspects of Europe/Asia relations. The first covers the historical background, the second is concerned with the contemporary political setting and the third with vitally important economic issues. The last two parts deal with security considerations and policy initiatives.
