China, the European Union and the Developing World

China, the European Union and the Developing World provides a comparative analysis of Chinese and EU influence across five different regions of the developing world: Asia-Pacific; South and Central Asia; the Middle East and North Africa; Sub-Saharan Africa; and Latin America. While there is broad acknowledgement that the importance of China is rising across the developing world, this book offers a comprehensive and comparative account of the relative increase of the Chinese presence in the various different regions. It highlights its impact on the relationship between the EU and the developing world regions and shows how the rise of China affects the relations between these regions and Europe. This comprehensive study will appeal to researchers and scholars interested in global governance, European foreign policy, Chinese foreign policy and EU–China relations, as well as trade, comparing developing countries around the world. Students of European studies and Chinese studies, as well as policy makers in the areas of external relations and EU–China relations, will also find this book a useful guide.
