| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The global financial crisis and the shift of economic strength to a rising Asia have ushered in European introspection and allusions to the decline of the European Union (EU). The EU's ambitions to have a normative impact in the world have been called into question. The seven articles in this guest-edited issue explore processes of change relating to geopolitical definitions, regional actorness, interregionalism, and normative power within the framework of EU-Asia relations. This introduction contextualises the themes taken up in the different articles. It considers important divides in the recent history of Europe-Asia relations and outlines key transformations in the global environment, before critically reflecting on the significance of normative power for Europe. |
