This book provides a useful framework for addressing the various aspects of current Asia-Europe relations, including examinations of power transitions and geopolitics, values, and pragmatism, climate change and sustainability, technology and innovation, and infrastructure and connectivity. It discusses the current state of affairs, the future of these relations, and the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for the two regions. In modern times, developments in infrastructure, such as transportation and communication technologies, have enhanced these regions’ connectivity. Yet, other geopolitical forces and power transitions are also influencing the stability of European-Asian alliances, sometimes in uncertain directions, particularly as competition between China and the United States disrupts the global order. The book also considers the impact of the ongoing Russian-Ukrainian conflict, in relation to Europe-Asia diplomacy. The book pivots on two fundamental questions: How can the two regions bridge their differences and cooperate to meet common challenges? And what opportunities—and challenges—arise for deeper political and economic integration in doing so? A valuable resource for scholars, policymakers, and those interested in future of Asia-Europe relations, this book is a novel resource for researchers in political science and international relations, sustainability studies, sociocultural studies, and all areas relating to Asian and European regionalism.
