This book is a detailed study of contemporary economic, political and security relations between Western Europe (now represented by the European Union) and China and the two emerging special administrative regions of Hong Kong and Macau. In a comparative manner, the contributors analyse the policies of seven major European states and the European Commission, counter-balanced with the view from China, Hong Kong and Macau. This uniquely wide-ranging survey discusses the past record, the present performance and the future prospects of the Sino-European relationship.
