All items tagged EU-AsiaOpen Think Tank ArticlesDecember 8, 2011 | Beyond Trade: Establishing a European Presence in AsiaMemo 36: The European Union must reach out to Asian partners and become a credible player on issues other than trade. A strong EU-Asia policy can contribute to stability and advance Europe’s overall political, economic, and security interests. ... MoreNovember 21, 2011 | Only a Federal Europe Can Be an Influence in AsiaBenjamin Newton Brower: How Europe solves its current crisis will reverberate beyond its immediate future; it will dictate whether the Pacific Century is one of prosperity or one where Europe is usurped and exploited by rising powers. The choice is clear: only further centralization can ensure the EU will remain a strong player in international politics and have a presence in Asia. ... MoreNovember 18, 2011 | Untangling Europe's Web of Relationships with AsiaDavid Camroux: In Asia, the EU must find a balance between relations with regional organizations, individual nations, and its own members’ bilateral ties.

MoreNovember 18, 2011 | China's Alternative World Order Leaves Europe a ChoiceLiselotte Odgaard: China is pursuing an alternative to Western political order based on absolutist state sovereignty and a non-military and non-political approach to global governance and development.

In a region where bilateral strategic partnerships are essential, the most important one may be between the US and Europe. ... MoreNovember 14, 2011 | EU-Asia Must Be About More Than TradeShada Islam: For the EU to make an impact in Asia, its engagements must go beyond merely trade ties and superficial meetings. It must take key Asian meetings seriously and develop a policy on important regional security issues. The EU must also make more and stronger connections with non-state actors in the region like think tanks and business leaders. ... MoreNovember 14, 2011 | Why Europe Must Up Its Game in AsiaFraser Cameron: America’s new Pacific engagement should be a wake-up call to Europeans. It is both a signal that they have been neglecting an Asia policy and a reminder that the EU must be more serious about providing for its own defense and asserting its influence as a populous and economically powerful union. ...
