This book examines how the young in Northeast Asia engage with the
political, especially in terms of the production, reformulation, or
contestation of their national identities. Through case studies
covering China, Japan, South Korea, North Korea and Taiwan, the
contributions provide a study of the online spaces where youth
engage with current debates regarding national identities. The book
also unpacks the distinctive forms of expression and negotiation of
national identities favoured by younger generations across
Northeast Asia and asks questions specifically raised by their
political mobilisation. For example, how their public mobilisation
for a given cause has forced them to rethink their place in
national and global communities. This book will be a valuable
resource for scholars and students of East Asian culture and
politics, media studies and youth studies. The Introduction of this

Relations between the EU and East Asia have consistently expanded
in recent years, particularly between the EU and Japan. Against the
background of negotiations on an economic and strategic partnership
agreement, the EU-Japan relationship is set to become the single
most comprehensive 'region-to-state' relationship the world has
known today, accounting for more than a third of world GDP and a
combined population of more than 600 million people. This book
addresses the potential role of the EU, in cooperation with Japan,
to craft a stable and prosperous mode of governance in the Asian
region. In today's globalized world seemingly defined by waxing
Chinese power and waning American power, the book reflects the lack
of appreciation for an EU-Japan concert in maintaining and
developing multilateral principles. It aims towards fortifying this
relationship by acknowledging that in order to enhance the
credibility and capabilities of such an alliance, it is necessary
to take stock of where the partnership stands today, what kind of
obstacles still need to be overcome and which options have been
left untouched. By introducing state-of-the-art empirical research
in multiple fields, this book will be of key interest to students
and scholars of international relations, comparative regionalism,
the European Union and Japanese politics.
There have been significant efforts to implement the Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs) at multiple levels of governance across
all regions of the world. However, the manner in which the global
governance norms underlying the SDGs are actually being diffused is
under-researched and not well understood. This book considers the
promotion of the SDGs through the lens of norm diffusion theory,
with a focus on three SDG policy areas; health, education and
decent work. A distinctive feature of the book is that it offers
multiple original case studies of SDG norm diffusion involving
Asian and European actors. A unique feature is that the case
studies in the book identify relevant SDG norm senders and norm
receivers, and examine the relationship between them. The book also
challenges the assumption that the SDGs themselves are static and
unchanging, and reveals how SDG norms are dynamic and can be
reformulated as a result of contestation between norm senders and
norm receivers. As well as introducing a diverse and original set
of case studies, the book therefore allows readers to deepen their
understandings of the policy diffusion mechanisms by which SDGs are
diffused, and grasp the patterns of success and failure in the
implementation of these policies. Chapters 4, 5 and 7 of this book
are available for free in PDF format as Open Access from the

By focusing on the wider process of negotiations, this novel volume
presents the first systematic analysis of the Transatlantic Trade
and Investment Partnership (TTIP). The authors include outstanding
scholars and relevant practitioners from across disciplines and
various academic institutions around Europe and North America, but
also from outside of the transatlantic basin. While presenting a
thorough examination of the process of TTIP negotiations, the
volume is divided into four parts with each part examining a
broader theme and offering three or four shorter exploratory
chapters that are accessible to academics, students, policy-makers
and a wider audience. The volume explores historical and
theoretical aspects of TTIP (with chapters by Gamble, Keohane and
Morse, Telo), the beginnings of the TTIP talks and the role of
individual actors (Mayer, Novotna, Dur and Lechner, Strange),
TTIP's possible knock-on effects and consequences for third parties
(Aggarwal and Evenett, Duchesne and Ouellet, Zhang, Ponjaert) as
well as impact on multilateral institutions and regimes complexes
(Mavroidis, Mortensen, Meunier and Morin, Pauwelyn). The authors
highlight dynamics which underline the relationship between the
United States and the European Union and argue that TTIP promises
to have vast implications not just for economics but global
governance and international system.
A very timely and topical volume concerned with the impact of the
Lisbon Treaty on the European Union's (EU) capacity to further
develop a distinctive foreign policy in accordance with the various
policy instruments necessary to fulfil its role as a global actor.
This edited volume brings together a host of scholars in the fields
of European Studies and International Relations whose contributions
offer both innovative theoretical perspectives and new empirical
insights. Overall, the book emphasizes the question of the EU's
evolving legitimacy and efficiency as a foreign policy and
diplomatic actor on the regional and global stage. This shared
concern is clearly reflected in the book's three-pronged structure:
Part 1 - the EU a controversial global political actor in an
emergent multipolar world with contributions from A.Gamble,
M.TelA(2) and J.Howorth; Part 2 - After the Lisbon Treaty: the
Common Foreign and Security Policy and the European External Action
Service, includes chapters from C.Lequesne, C.Carta and H.Mayer;
Part 3 - R.Gillespie, F.Ponjaert, G.Grevi, Z.Chen, H.Nakamura and
U.Salma Bava assess the CFSP and the EU's external relations in
action. Foreword by S.E.M P. Vimont. As a result, the book is a
useful and relevant contribution to European Union studies and
International Relations' research and teaching. It offers any
interested party informed and comprehensive insights into EU
foreign policy at a time when it seeks to undertake an increased
role in World affairs and this despite economic crisis.

Is the EU isolated within the emergent multipolar world?
Concentrating on interregional relations and focussing on the
European Union's (EU) evolving international role with regards to
regional cooperation, this innovative book collects a set of fresh
empirical analyses of interregional ties binding the EU with its
Eastern and Southern neighbourhood, as well as with Asia, Africa
and the Americas. The 25 leading authors from 5 continents have
contributed original and diverse chapters and the book advances a
novel theoretical 'post-revisionist' approach beyond both the
Eurocentrism of 'Europe First' perspectives as well as the
Euroscepticism of those advocating to simply move 'Beyond Europe'.
After a Foreword by A. Acharya, the book's five sections reflect
the main drivers of EU interregional policies: The European Union
as a Sophisticated Laboratory of Regional and Interregional
Cooperation (with chapters by M. Telo, L. Fawcett and T. Risse), De
Facto Drivers of Regionalism (F. Ponjaert, M. Shu, A. Valladao and
C. Jakobeit), De Jure Drivers of Regionalism (S. Lavenex, G.
Finizio, C. Jakobeit, R. Coman, C. Cocq & S. Teo L-Shah),
Cognitive Drivers of Regionalism (J. Ruland, E. Fitriani, S.
Stavridis & S. Kingah, P. Bacon), and Instrumental Drivers of
Regionalism (B. Delcourt, C. Olsson & G. Muller, A. Malamud
& P. Seabra and L. Fioramonti & J. Kostopoulos).
