The growing economic, cultural and scientific might of Asia is forcing a reassessment of China, India and other Eastern nations within the European Union and fostering the EU’s will to engage these new powers by building frameworks for dialogue and cooperation. GEORG WIESSALA reviews the various notions that Europe and Asia have historically held about each other. The traditional political and economic relations are always in need of strong cultural counterparts which can help shape “knowhow based” cooperation and provide diplomacy with a “people to people” dimension, supplementing indepth intellectual communication. | ||
