This edited volume examines contemporary relations between Europe
and Asia through the prism of the Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM). ASEM
is an informal forum for dialogue and cooperation between 53
partners from both regions. Having started in 1996, ASEM aims to
enhance political dialogue, strengthen economic cooperation, and
promote socio-cultural exchange. The book provides insights into
past achievements, current challenges, and possible new directions
for ASEM as a dialogue forum. The chapters focus on institutional
design, the security agenda, economic cooperation, and cultural
exchange and civil society outreach through the Asia-Europe
Foundation. They also zoom in on ASEM’s Parliamentary Partnership,
and the ongoing challenge of public awareness and visibility.
Furthermore, they critically examine the implications of the
widening process, the attempts to reinvigorate the forum, and the
varied perspectives on ASEM’s value for both regions. Appealing to
policy-makers, researchers, and students, this volume provides an
in-depth analysis of a wide range of issues relating to the role of
ASEM in contemporary international relations.
