Enhancing Asia-Europe Co-operation through Educational Exchange

The debate on inter-cultural communication is fast-developing and the EU is working to develop a 'people-to-people-dimension' in its relations with Asian interlocutors.Enhancing Asia-Europe Co-operation through Educational Exchange offers a research-led critique of the ways in which intellectual and academic exchanges inform and shape external interactions with countries, institutions and non-state actors across the Asia-Pacific. This book offers a critique of the ideologies, mechanisms and policies through which matters of exchange and inter-cultural dialogue have come to bear on the EU-Asia dialogue. It also investigates the practical work of a number of educational institutions in the Higher Education sector across the Asia-Pacific, and their interaction with EU partners and considers future scenarios pertaining to the evolution of inter-cultural and inter-continental learning and the 'people-to-people-dimension' of East-West contacts.This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the relation between Europe and Asia, within Politics, International Relations, Asia-Pacific Studies, European Studies, Education, Law and Human Rights.
