Author Description

"This book closely scrutinizes the individual and collective roles played by the US, China, and the EU in contemporary world politics. Examining the three actors' respective strategic and policy positions on and behaviour towards the flux of the contemporary global order, the analysis focuses on three major issues and challenges: foreign and security policy; economics and trade; and energy and climate change. Discussing their relative power, as well as their interests, beliefs and positions on a set of decisive issues, this book also explores the bilateral relations between the three powers and the ways in which they may interact trilaterally in a broader global context to shape international politics. Written by a stellar line-up of experts from the fields of politics and international relations, The Evolving Relationship between China, the EU and the USA will be of huge interest to students and scholars from within these fields, as well as policy-makers and practitioners more generally"--
