This book examines the ideas of knowledge-transfer and higher
education exchange in the relationship between the European Union
and countries, regions, universities and think-tanks across Asia.
It critically investigates some discourses of particular relevance
to the cognitive framework of the academic discipline of ?European
Studies?, as currently taught across a number of countries in the
Asia Pacific. For this purpose, this book presents a range of
theoretical explanations, drawn from notions such as the global
knowledge village, intercultural dialogue, regional integration,
foreign policy analysis and international education. The author
offers a unique, in-depth, investigation of a range of EU policies
and agendas towards Asia, scrutinizing a number of contemporary
centers, curricula and exchange initiatives in the field of
European Studies in Asia, and analyzing over-arching themes, such
as human rights and further sheds light on the long history of the
exchange of ideas and knowledge between East and West, surveying
the function of educational and intellectual exchange as a
developing foreign policy tool of the European Union in Asia.
This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the
relation between Europe and Asia, within Politics, International
Relations, Asia-Pacific Studies, European Studies, Education, Law
and Human Rights.
Dr Georg Wiessala is a Professor of International Relations at
