Download or read book Le Partenariat UE ASEAN written by Abdelkhaleq Berramdane and published by Primento. This book was released on 2013-07-09 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: À l’heure où l’Union européenne connaît une crise identitaire politicoéconomique, l’ASEAN émerge en tant que puissance économique régionale et, face à ses grands voisins immédiats, cherche de nouvelles alliances en particulier avec l’UE. De son côté l’UE, fragilisée économiquement, financièrement et socialement, se tourne vers les puissances émergentes de l’Asie du sud-est. À cet égard, les deux ensembles, UE et ASEAN, cherchent à tisser tout un réseau d’accords régionaux et surtout bilatéraux, de partenariat et de coopération ainsi que de zones de libre-échanges. Ce partenariat économique se double-t-il d’un rapprochement institutionnel ? L’ASEAN est-elle une « UE asiatique » en devenir ou un ensemble hybride inédit ? Certes, dans la perspective de la constitution de la « Communauté ASEAN », l’UE est devenue une source d’inspiration de l’ASEAN en vue de la création d’un véritable ensemble intégré mais tout en tenant compte de la très grande diversité de ses Etats membres. Le colloque international qui s’est tenu à Hanoï en octobre 2011, a débattu de ces questions fondamentales et révélé les différentes approches des deux ensembles qui trouvent leur traduction dans cet ouvrage, complété par un ensemble de documents essentiels à la compréhension des relations entre l’UE et l’ASEAN. L’ouvrage intéressera les avocats internationaux, d’affaires ou fiscalistes, les ministères européens et asiatiques ainsi que les organisations professionnelles, chambres de commerce nationales ou mixtes. L’ouvrage pourra également convenir aux professeurs et leurs étudiants.

Book European Integration and the Cold War

Download or read book European Integration and the Cold War written by N. Piers Ludlow and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2007-06-11 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume uses newly released archival material to show linkages between the development of the European Union and the Cold War. Containing essays by well-known Cold War scholars such as Jussi Hanhimaki, Wilfried Loth and Piers Ludlow, the book looks at: France, where neither de Gaulle nor Pompidou felt committed to the status quo in East-West or West-West relations Germany, where Brandt’s Ostpolitik was acknowledged to be linked to the success of Bonn’s Westpolitik and Britain, where the move towards Community membership was tightly bound up with a variety of calculations about the organization of the West and its approach to the Cold War. Nixon and Kissinger’s policies are set out as the background of US policy against which each of the European players was compelled to operate, explaining how Washington saw European integration as part of the over-arching Cold War. European Integration and the Cold War will appeal to students of Cold War history, European politics, and international history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How are the rising mutual concerns of Asian and European countries shaping their approaches to the international order?

Book Europe Asia Relations

Download or read book Europe Asia Relations written by Richard Balme and published by Palgrave MacMillan. This book was released on 2008-05-15 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Europe-Asia Relations analyses the increasingly complex and close-knit interactions between these two regions. By addressing both key thematic topics - trade, investment, diplomacy and security - and crucial bilateral relations with major actors, such as China, Japan, India, as well as middle powers and regional organizations, this volume provides a comprehensive overview of the interregional relationship. By exploring the substance, manner and dynamics of these interactions at the bilateral, multilateral, and interregional levels, this volume examines how the various countries and peoples relate to each other and to the emerging multipolar and multilateral global order. The Europe-Asia relationship is often described as the weak link in the global power triangle with the United States. Yet, by using a multinational and multidisciplinary group of authors, this volume sheds new light on this increasingly important relationship, which will be crucial to the future dynamics of international order."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Farmers on Welfare

    Book Details:
  • Author : Ann-Christina L. Knudsen
  • Publisher : Cornell University Press
  • Release : 2011-03-15
  • ISBN : 0801457653
  • Pages : 365 pages

Download or read book Farmers on Welfare written by Ann-Christina L. Knudsen and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2011-03-15 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2007 the farm subsidies of the European Union's Common Agricultural Policy took over 40 percent of the entire EU budget. How did a sector of diminishing social and economic importance manage to maintain such political prominence? The conventional answer focuses on the negotiations among the member states of the European Community from 1958 onwards. That story holds that the political priority, given to the CAP, as well as its long-term stability, resides in a basic devil's bargain between French agriculture and German industry. In Farmers on Welfare, a landmark new account of the making of the single largest European policy ever, Ann-Christina L. Knudsen suggests that this accepted narrative is rather too neat. In particular, she argues, it neglects how a broad agreement was made in the 1960s that related to national welfare state policies aiming to improve incomes for farmers. Drawing on extensive archival research from a variety of political actors across the Community, she illustrates how and why this supranational farm regime was created in the 1960s, and also provides us with a detailed narrative history of how national and European administrations gradually learned about this kind of cooperation.By tracing how the farm welfare objective was gradually implemented in other common policies, Knudsen offers an alternative account of European integration history.
