Managing Global Challenges

The book provides an in-depth analysis of EU-China cooperation mechanisms with a focus on efforts to jointly address global challenges. It zooms in on the cooperation mechanisms for addressing three specific global challenges that rank high on the bilateral agenda: mitigating climate change, controlling nuclear non-proliferation, and addressing the poverty-insecurity nexus. From this empirical analysis, the book assesses the characteristics and challenges of the EU's emerging network diplomacy model of dealing with strategic external relations. ContentsThe Development of EU Policies towards ChinaAnalysing the Operational Level of Cooperation: A FrameworkThe Cooperation System: Actors and MechanismsControlling Nuclear ProliferationMitigating Climate ChangeAddressing the Security-Development Nexus Target GroupsLecturers and students of social sciences, in particular of political science, international relations and European studiesPractitioners in European external relations as well as in international organizationsAbout the AuthorStephan Mergenthaler is Director at the World Economic Forum in Geneva.
