"China and Europe in 21st Century Global Politics has successfully opened an avenue for future research. It emphasises the dynamics and setbacks of the co-evolutionary Europe-China relations in the early 21st century, and offers readers a balanced perspective between European and Chinese scholars. This collection will have value for all readers who are interested in co-evolution of international relations. Scholars, students and policy analysts of Europe-China relations will appreciate the editors’ and contributors’ efforts in narrative shift in the literature of Europe-China relations. In addition, it will be a welcome addition to the collection of academic libraries."—Dr Kai Chen, Zhejian University, China; International Journal of China Studies, 6: 3 (2015)"The chapters of this volume are as diverse thematically as they are from a theoretical and methodological point of view. The authors employ different perspectives such as institutional liberalism, constructivism and rational choice theory, as well as different methods, ranging from quantitative research to comparative case studies. This diversity is indeed promising, as it testifies to the vitality of the field and to its future prospects... The book will certainly appeal to specialists, as well as to general academic readers and practitioners."—Salvatore Finamore, University of Cambridge; Europe-Asia Studies, 67: 9 (2015)“The book’s organisation, with a number of key themes featuring European and Chinese perspectives, enables the contributors to cover a wide range of important issues and to relate policy to theory and analysis in a consistent way. The book is a valuable addition to the growing literature on EU-China relations, and will be useful both for students and for researchers in the field” —Michael Smith, Professor of European Politics, Loughborough University“It was a great pleasure to read this book. It offers direct exchanges of ideas in an analytical framework, candid dialogue between two different reasoning patterns, and sharing of visionary thinking over an increasingly globalized world, which, I hope, can facilitate mutual understanding and narrow the divide between China and Europe“ —Zhou Hong, Professor of European Politics and Modern History, Director of the Institute of European Studies, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS)
