About this book

This study examines the record of French and EU interactions with China, Japan and Vietnam in the areas of economic exchanges, political security relations and human rights to establish if there has been a trend of converging 'European' politics and collective European conceptions of interest and identity. It argues that the utility and impact of EU institutions on French foreign policy behaviour is more significant than is commonly imagined or admitted, and that foreign policies of EU member states tend over the long term towards convergence.

Reviews

'...a stimulating and thought-provoking book. The case studies on the EU, China, Japan, and Vietnam stand alone as examples of vigorous comparative policy analysis.' - International Studies Review

'This volume is a welcome addition to the literatures of Europeanization and of French foreign policy. In the case of Europeanization, there is always scope for detailed demonstration of the process at work; in the case of France, new empirical evidence of French action in parts of the world not traditionally associated with French influence here, Japan and China is valuable, particularly given the revival of French interest in Asia in the twenty-first century; this is Wong's starting point.' - European Foreign Affairs Review
