DEEPENING THE EUCHINA PARTNERSHIP IN AN UNSTABLE WORLD
The ChinaEC/EU relationship, started in 1975, is a highly institutionalised, multidimensional and complex, but to some extent controversial, international partnership. It is also challenged by events within the current unstable world.
This book addresses the convergences and the differences (ideational, political, institutional and interests-related) between China and the European Union (EU) by a collective interaction between Chinese and European scholars. Among other things, this book assesses sectoral bilateral dialogue, focuses on the interplay between internal complexity and external policies and discusses ideational divergences in international law and rule of law and in many relevant policy fields. Furthermore, it compares sustainable growth policies; explores trade, investment controversies and negotiations and human rights dialogue; and addresses environment and climate change policies.
This text will be of key interest to EU studies and politics, China studies and more broadly to area/Asian studies and international relations/global governance.

The ChinaEU relationship has come a long way. Despite their many differences, as two of the most important global actors and highly interdependent partners, China and the EU have many common interests, much common ground and great potential to work with each other.
Against the current complex and fast-changing international situation, how to move the ChinaEU comprehensive strategic partnership forward and forge a path to the future for the common good of our peoples is a challenge facing both sides.
This book, Deepening the EUChina Partnership in an Unstable World , couldnt have come at a more opportune time. It brings together analysis, views and perspectives of well-known Chinese and European scholars and experts on a number of issues pertaining to the ChinaEU dialogue and cooperation, as well as thoughts and proposals on ways and means to bridge differences and broaden consensus and deepen mutually beneficial and mutually reinforcing cooperation.
I am confident that there will be many grateful readers who will find this book useful and gain a better appreciation and broader perspective of ChinaEU relations as a result of their painstaking efforts.
