SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"This volume offers an investigation of the ways in which matters of human rights give shape to the European Union's interaction with Asia. It argues for the consideration of selected social-constructivist perspectives with regard to the Asia-EU dialogue. It puts into context the function of ideas, identities, values, norms and human rights. Through a number of country-specific and regional case-studies, the text examines both the 'enabling' and the 'inhibitory' potential of human rights in the Union's relations with Asian interlocutors. The book seeks to propose a more inclusive, holistic, understanding of the significance and potential of the human rights discourse in East-West contacts. It is aimed at a wide readership from the disciplines of Politics, International Relations, Asian Studies, Law and Human Rights."--BOOK JACKET.
