The forthcoming issue of the EU-China Observer would like to explore the extent to which China’s latest reforms are likely to impact EU-China relations. Will they foster stronger bilateral cooperation, or will Xi’s stronger grip on the state instead complicate an already challenging context for gap-bridging?
Contributions for the next issue of the EU-China Observer may cover – but are not limited to – the following topics:
- China’s reforms and their historical impact on China-EU relations (since the establishment of official ties);
- China’s reforms in the field of trade and investment: challenges and opportunities for the EU and EU-China relations;
- China-EU political and security relations: the impact of China’s reforms and greater global projection;
- China’s reforms and EU-China relations in the field of climate change, energy, and social policies;
- China’s reforms and their impact on other fields of EU-China cooperation (e.g. people-to-people, science…);
Please send your contributions to EUCO@coleurope.eu by 18 May 2018. For any questions related to the EU-China Observer, please do not hesitate to contact us via the e-mail address mentioned above.
