| Summary/Abstract |
Trade interdependence between Europe and Asia has rapidly increased in recent years. Europe-Asia trade flows now constitute a 'third link' in the global economy. As trade expands, however, global trade governance has declined and free trade agreements (FTAs) have increased. Hence, the Global Europe strategy has been designed to enhance trade relations with emerging Asia which is the most dynamic region in the global economy today. But Asia's model of export led growth leaves it more exposed to shocks emanating from outside the region than ever before raising questions about its sustainability. Deep integration agreements between Europe and Asia are needed to foster economic growth. They also need a development dimension to help Asian countries address their key development challenges.
Brigid Gavin was the Research Coordinator of the workshop on 'Deep Integration and North-South Free Trade Agreements: EU Strategy for a Global Economy' which provided the papers and discussion forum for the articles in this special edition. The workshop took place at the United Nations University-Comparative Regional Integration Studies (UNU-CRIS) centre in Bruges, Belgium on 19-20 June, 2008. She wishes to express her thanks to Mr Luk Van Langenhove, Director of UNU-CRIS for financial support and to all the authors and participants in the workshop for their contribution to making this project a real success. A special word of thanks goes to Lars Nilsson, Chief Economist Unit, DG Trade, European Commission for his opening presentation to the workshop.
Alice Sindzingre is Research Fellow, National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS), University of Paris and Visiting Lecturer at School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), University of London. This analysis draws from her paper 'The EU Economic Partnership Agreements with Africa' which she presented at the workshop and available on the UNU-CRIS website.

| Summary/Abstract |
Over the years since the 1998 crisis, the so-called Emerging and Developing Asia has become a new engine of global economic growth. The region has been developing under the slogan "Asia for the world," and the world has been looking for opportunities that it could draw from the Asian economic miracle. Today we are witnessing a profound transformation of the existing model: almost all countries in the region are becoming more Asiacentric, and a new model is emerging that can be called "Asia for Asia." It seems to be a perfect time to ask: What does Asia want? And does this mean that Asian economies will be able to catch up with the best standards of quality that the local growing consumerist class is looking for?
