| Summary/Abstract |
Neither the European Union nor Asia has the concerted impact upon global governance that might be expected of them, given their economic and political strength. The European Union tends to focus more on its immediate neighbourhood, whilst the leading economies in Asia, such as Japan, have favoured the role of 'status quo' powers. The biennial Asia Europe Meeting (ASEM), the first of which was held in 1996, ought to provide a context in which the pragmatism of Asia could mix with a more globally focused Europe to produce shared leadership of benefit to both.
