Rezensionen

'How do the EU and China build their diplomatic relationship? What are the factors that shape their patterns of cooperation and conflict? This book addresses these questions by advancing a groundbreaking theoretical model of diplomatic relationship-building that incorporates the role of intentions in EU-China diplomacy. The book shows how the social layer of ''intentions'' endows the EU and China with a ''we-feeling'' that invokes a shared vision and enables the minimization of frictions between the two parties. Based on extensive empirical research, the book reveals the complex and dynamic nature of EU-China relations and the importance of understanding the intentions of both actors. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in EU-China diplomacy and its future prospects.'

Corneliu Bjola, University of Oxford, UK

'Relations between the EU and China are a crucial but under-examined topic. Lucie Qian Xia's meticulous and rigorous study shows how, in practice, competition and collaboration can both take place. It is an important read both for scholars and policymakers.'

Rana Mitter, Harvard University, USA

'In the evolving dynamics of global affairs, the EU-China relationship will become even more significant than it is today. Lucie Qian Xia's in-depth study on EU-China relations cuts to the core of diplomatic intricacies. Through a thorough examination of the theoretical foundations and practical insights into the key areas of the relationship, Lucie Qian Xia delivers an indispensable guide. This compelling work demands the attention of stakeholders on both sides, providing a clear and comprehensive roadmap for navigating the complex landscape of EU-China diplomatic ties.'
