Publisher's Synopsis
This book brings together a unique collection of perspectives on the contemporary relations of the European Union with New Zealand and the wider Asia-Pacific region. Since 2001, the annual Europa Lecture, hosted by the National Centre for Research on Europe at the University of Canterbury, has brought together practitioners and academics in a dialogue that critically addresses the EU's involvement with its global partners. Topics that have been addressed in this prestigious series of lectures include the EU?s foreign policy, past and future enlargements of the Union and the ever-contentious issue of agriculture.
