In light of European crisis and Asian economic growth, have new challenges emerged for relations between the nations in these regions. As the Asian consumer class grows and its culture globalizes, what does this mean for the export of Eurocentric values and norms. And what does the future hold for the economic, political and cultural policies between these two powerful regions. Reflecting on past interactions and possibilities for the future, this book brings together Asian and European perspectives from former politicians, diplomats and academic experts to examine questions around trade and security, rights and climate change, identity clashes and the colonial legacy. It is a timely consideration of highly topical questions that will continue to shape international politics in the twenty-first century.
