Opis

The EU’s contemporary approach towards Asia emphasises the importance of open economies and common challenges of the 21st Century. So-called non-traditional security issues have been portrayed increasingly as an avenue to share experiences and enhance cooperation between the EU and Southeast Asian region. This book is the first contemporary monograph-length discussion of the EU as a politico-security actor in Southeast Asia post-Cold War. Drawing upon the historical and institutional context and a broad range of empirical case studies, it illustrates that non-traditional security crises are providing an increasingly important frame to enhance the EU as a politico-security influence in the region.
