Europe and Asia: Perceptions from Afar: 12 (Transformation, Development, and Regionalization in Greater)

Is the EU able and prepared to deal with emerging Asia? Is an increasingly affluent Asia willing to engage with economically challenged Europe?

This engaging volume presents the latest empirically informed comparative insight into how key Asian players imagine and perceive the EU before and after the Lisbon Treaty - as well before and after the outbreak of the Euro debt crisis. The result is a comprehensive overview of how these two continents engage and interact.
