| Summary/Abstract |
National climate change policies are becoming similar, which can be interpreted as being a result of policy diffusion processes. Many of those policies are inspired by EU climate strategies. The EU actively promotes these policies in its external relations, such as in its partnership on climate change with China. This leads us to three sets of questions. Does the EU act as a transformative power in interregional cooperation on climate change? Can we identify a climate change policy diffusion process in EU-Chinese relations, and, if so, which communication channels as well as diffusion mechanisms can be identified? And, finally, is interregional cooperation on climate change a building block or a stumbling block in the global climate change regime? This article argues that the policy diffusion process depends on the scope of the interregional communication process between the EU and China, and the willingness and national responsiveness of China to adopt policy innovations.

| Summary/Abstract |
The issue of human rights has been one of the most sensitive elements in the EU-China relationship. It is difficult to deal with in the official relationship between the EU and the Chinese government, and has caused controversy in public opinion and in the media. The question of human rights often appears as the aspect of the relationship between Europe and China that constitutes the greatest and most destabilizing of differences between them. We have seen instances of this with regards to specific issues such as Tibet, notably when President Sarkozy, as holder of the EU Presidency, met the Dalai Lama in 2008, and a generalized criticism in Europe that year of China's human rights which surrounded the Beijing Olympics, notably during the Olympic torch procession, and when many human rights activists advocated a boycott of the opening ceremony by European leaders. The awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to Liu Xiaobo in 2010 brought human rights to the fore once again.
