"Thoughtful, carefully-crafted and empirically-rich, this illuminating volume offers a refreshing take on a wide range of the most important issues in EU-China relations, from security, to global, political, and economic governance, to climate change...Wang and Song's book will find a prominent place within the growing body of EU-China scholarship and greatly further our understanding of the comparative development of these two rising actors and their impact on twenty-first century global politics." - Ulrich Krotz, Chair in International Relations and the Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies, European University Institute, Italy
