‘The book covers an amazing amount of ground. But it does so without drifting into superficiality. . . . I can recommend this book to anyone who wants a single source of information about what have been the major issues in the AP region in recent years and how they have affected AP–Europe relations. It is also a useful aide-memoire for people who need to brush up on specific topics (there is a good index). Highly recommended.’
– David Wall, International Affairs
‘. . . a fine new study . . . Brian Bridges explores how Europe and Asia have progressed from hostility to their present state of qualified cordiality. His nuanced primer deserves to be widely studied and discussed in the corridors of the EU, ASEAN and APEC.’
– Roger Buckley, Far Eastern Economic Review
‘Brian Bridges’s study is a comprehensive work of scholarship, touching on aspects of European-Asian relationships previously neglected by other scholars, and written in a style easily accessible to the general reader. It deserves a wide audience.’
– Robert Taylor, University of Sheffield, UK
This innovative new book provides an up-to-date and comprehensive analysis of contemporary economic, political and security relations between Western Europe and the Asia Pacific region.
