    About Stanley Crossick

    About Etienne Reuter


    Negotiations for a new EU-China Partnership & Cooperation Agreement have just got underway and are likely to take two to three years. This is the first book to explore the wide range of issues affecting the China-EU relationship, including the US factor, environmental issues, WTO, governance, trade matters, civil society, democracy, the RMB, energy security, arms embargo, UN reform, Taiwan, Japan, North Korea, Africa and many others.

    The result of an intense, collaborative exercise between over 30 respected Chinese and European scholars, this timely book highlights the necessity of a China-EU relationship and why it will be mutually beneficial. Recommendations for the harmonious development of relations between China and the EU are offered as well.

    “This timely book interweaves the views of experts from Europe and China on one of the most crucial issues of our age — how these two powers can work together, address challenges and each accommodate the differing values, histories and aspirations of the other.”
    James Kynge
    Author of the bestseller China Shakes the World
     
    “This book is an excellent example of Chinese and European scholars working together in harmonious cooperation to produce a series of papers to help European and Chinese decision-makers who are involved in developing the Sino-European relationship and negotiating a new Partnership & Cooperation Agreement. This exercise is both valuable in itself and increases mutual understanding.”
    Yang Rui

    CCTV 9 Dialogue
     
    “A penetrating and wide-ranging analysis of a key international relationship which will help to shape the world of the 21st century, with the unique advantage of being written from both sides of the equation.”
    Jonathan Fenby
    Author
    The Penguin History of Modern China
     
    “As the title suggests, the essays in this book make a convincing case for closer co-operation. They rightly encourage a vision of relations between the two entities that looks beyond trade and promotes further issues on which the EU should seek dialogue with Beijing.”
