China and Europe since 1978

This volume looks at the development of Chinese-European relations since China embarked on its open policy and the European Union evolved into the major economic and political force in Europe. The papers suggest that political communication has not significantly modified Europe’s relations with China and that both Europe and China tend to view their relations with each other in terms of their relationships with the USA. Articles include: Human Rights, Europe and the People’s Republic of China; Relations and Mutual Strategic Perceptions: China and the European Union; EU Economic Relations with China: An Institutionalist Perspective; The Role of Hong Kong and Macau in China’s Relations with Europe; A Functional Relationship: Political Extensions to Europe–Taiwan Economic Ties; Economic Relations between Taiwan and Europe; Cultural Relations between China and the Member States of the European Union.
