As tensions between China and Japan increase, including over the
disputed islands in the East China Sea, Japan has adopted under
Prime Minister Abe a new security posture. This involves,
internally, adapting Japan's constitutional position on defence
and, externally, building stronger international relationships in
the Asia-Pacific region and more widely. This book presents a
comprehensive analysis of these developments. It shows how trust
and co-operation with the United States, the only partner with
which Japan has a formal alliance, is being rebuilt, discusses how
other relationships, both on security and on wider issues, are
being formed, in the region and with European countries and the EU,
with the relationships with India and Australia being of particular
importance, and concludes by assessing the likely impact on the
region of Japan's changing posture and new relationships.
Establishing strategic partnerships is a key objective for the
European Union. These partnerships provide frameworks for flexible
and long-term cooperation with global and regional players. This
book focuses on the EU's strategy toward China and India and
explores ways of promoting a stronger and more versatile role for
the EU in Asia. The volume examines the emergence of China and
India as global powers and the implications for the EU's common
policies and strategies. It focuses on the role of the EU within
Asia in terms of its political, security-related and cultural
impact in addition to economic presence, and it explores the
interplay of the EU, China and India in global governance and in
utilizing and promoting multilateralism, especially in the context
of climate change and energy security. The contributors discuss
avenues for the EU to pursue its interests in Asia and to achieve
its objectives in global governance and multilateralism through
partnerships with China and India, while retaining its special
relationship with the United States.
This book examines the interregional relations of the European
Union with East Asia through the prism of the Asia-Europe Meeting
(ASEM). ASEM currently brings together 16 Asian countries, the 27
member states of the European Union, as well as the ASEAN
Secretariat and the European Commission. ASEM's ten-year
anniversary and the Sixth Summit in Helsinki prompted reflection on
the forum's accomplishments in three dimensions of interaction, its
working methods, democratic involvement, public awareness and
global strategic potential. The volume provides an in-depth
evaluation of ASEM's first decade from a European perspective,
including the achievements of the ASEM6 Summit and its implications
for the future of the process. It also analyzes the role of
interregional interaction as a tool for EU foreign policy.
This edited volume examines contemporary relations between Europe
and Asia through the prism of the Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM). ASEM
is an informal forum for dialogue and cooperation between 53
partners from both regions. Having started in 1996, ASEM aims to
enhance political dialogue, strengthen economic cooperation, and
promote socio-cultural exchange. The book provides insights into
past achievements, current challenges, and possible new directions
for ASEM as a dialogue forum. The chapters focus on institutional
design, the security agenda, economic cooperation, and cultural
exchange and civil society outreach through the Asia-Europe
Foundation. They also zoom in on ASEM's Parliamentary Partnership,
and the ongoing challenge of public awareness and visibility.
Furthermore, they critically examine the implications of the
widening process, the attempts to reinvigorate the forum, and the
varied perspectives on ASEM's value for both regions. Appealing to
policy-makers, researchers, and students, this volume provides an
in-depth analysis of a wide range of issues relating to the role of
ASEM in contemporary international relations.
