The European Union and China

By Emil Kirchner, Uwe Wissenbach, Thomas Christiansen

Book Overview

The European Union and China provides comprehensive and accessible introduction to relations between the European Union (EU) and China - one of the most consequential relationships in the emerging multipolar order. This new edition has been thoroughly updated and expanded, covering the key institutional aspects and policy dimensions that are pertinent in the EU-China relationship. This includes the focus on economic issues such as trade and investment policy, their response to the climate crisis, and competition for influence in the Global South. This multifaceted analysis of EU-China relations comes at a pivotal time in global politics, as both sides balance the risks and opportunities of continued cooperation against the wider fragmentation of global governance regimes.

Assuming no prior knowledge, this textbook is an accessible introduction to those studying International Relations, EU external relations and China Studies, as well as those seeking to gain a deeper understanding of this key relationship in the current era of international politics.
