Summary/Abstract

Despite the large-scale investments of both China and the EU in climate-change mitigation and renewable-energy promotion, the prevailing view on China-EU relations is one of conflict rather than cooperation. In order to evaluate the prospects of cooperation between China and the EU in these policy fields, empirical research has to go beyond simplistic narratives. This paper suggests a conceptual apparatus that will help researchers better understand the complexities of the real world. The relevant actors operate at different levels and in the public and private sectors. The main message of the paper is that combining the multi-level governance and value-chain approaches helps clarify the multiple relationships between these actors.

Summary/Abstract

Global governance involves worldwide redistribution of power, wealth and resources. The sole super power and other powers are focusing on the struggle between unipolarity and multipolarity. Traditional powers and emerging powers are competing against each other for power and interests. And there are ongoing conflicts among western countries and fragmentation in the developing world. China-U.S. relationship is particularly complicated, multi-faceted and ever changing. But different from its relations with the U.S., China has no direct geopolitical conflict of interests or outstanding issues left over from history in its relations with Europe. China and Europe now share increasing interests in addressing major international issues, and pursue the same or similar goals and concepts in upholding world peace and stability, in seeking to resolve international disputes through peaceful means and in reforming the international financial system. This has created broad space for China-Europe cooperation in global governance.
