The Politics of EU-China Economic Relations

An Uneasy Partnership

Beschreibung

This book examines the political factors in the economic relationship between the European Union and China that help to explain the apparent stalling of the EU-China strategic partnership in policy terms. Written by two specialists with long experience of EU-China relations, this new volume draws on the latest research on how each side has emerged from the economic crisis and argues that promising potential for EU-China cooperation is being repeatedly undermined by political obstacles on both sides. The work is designed to be an analysis useful for university faculty and students interested in China and the European Union as well as for the general reader, providing an empirically-led examination that is academically informed and yet also approachable. Dissecting key policy areas such as trade, research and innovation, investment, and monetary affairs, the conclusion offers a compelling prognosis of how the EU-China relationship might develop over the coming years.

Rezensionen

"It offers a comprehensive and well-balanced account of economic relations across trade, investment, innovation, finance and global governance, with a particular focus on their politics. The volume also identifies scope for greater collaboration, in particular on global governance and monetary issues. ... this is an excellent account of EU-China relations which should appeal to specialist and generalist readers alike." (Tim Summers, International Affairs, Vol. 94, January, 2018)
