    Examines the inter-regional cooperation of the European Union with East Asia through the prism of the Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM). After a decade, ASEM is facing numerous challenges such as public awareness, ambiguity and unclear structures and criticism that it doesn't fulfill expectations nor does it reflect the full global strategic potential of Asia-Europe relations in general. Most importantly it is seen as failing to play a relevant role as a major international cooperation structure.This volume provides an in-depth background to ASEM and frames Europe's political and economical expectations within the post-Cold war context. Furthermore it provides an analysis of ASEN from the viewpoint of European studies, contributes to a better understanding of the ongoing processes of community-building in the East Asian region and offers a thorough study of the associated summits.
