Asia and Europe

This book provides a broad as well as in-depth discussion of various topics, facets, and dynamics of both intraregional dialogues in Asia and Europe, and interregional dialogues between Asia and Europe. Starting with theoretical and methodological reflections on regionalization and interregionalism (part I), the discussion then examines the patterns of relations (part II), before it addresses specific aspects and challenges in Asia and Europe as well as between both regions (part III).

By bringing together scholars from Asia and Europe, this volume explores the chances and possible limits in regionalization processes and in interregional cooperation, and shows that - despite existing difficulties - Europe and Asia have a broad common agenda of issues to follow and solve.
