[EUTW Book Series XIII] European Dream and Reluctant Integration in the 21st Century: Lessons for Ongoing Asian Regionalism
EUTW Book Series Editor of the Series: Hungdah Su
Editors of the Book: Hungdah Su
To avoid a repeat of those nationalist nightmares, a common European Dream emerged after WWII, which has since developed into some essential doctrines of European integration. This dream-inspired institutionalist context has framed intergovernmental bargaining, sectoral spillovers and transnational cooperation in European integration. The powerful European Dream has even encouraged Europeans toward closer integration, though they were, quite often, very reluctant to go further. This dream-driven approach and reluctant runner’s model have highlighted some fundamental realities of European integration, extremely inspiring for the future of the EU and the ongoing Asian regionalism.

This book consists of three parts and thirteen chapters. It aims to explain European integration, the EU’s role in global governance and the EU’s impact upon Asian regionalism with the help of the European Dream approach and reluctant runners’ model. Trump’s unilateralism, the rising tensions between the US and PRC and the COVID-19 pandemic may be a turning point for world politics. Both globalization and global governance have consequently slowed down, giving place to regionalism and inter-regionalism. This book hopes to contribute to the rising debate over European integration, Asian regionalism and EU-Asian inter-regionalism.

[EUTW Book Series XIII] Brexit and Transformation of Europe
Catherine Li, Zhi-Cheng Wu (eds.) 2016年6月,英國舉行全民脫歐公投,得到了超過半數民眾的支援,這一公投結果無疑給英國乃至歐洲政治發展帶來了巨大挑戰。一方面,作為英國所謂選舉民主的成果,雖然在短期內緩解和轉移了英國社會的某些矛盾,但必將給英國政治經濟和內政外交產生深刻影響,另一方面,脫歐公投也激化了英國國內新的社會分化和政治競爭,加重了歐洲一體化深化的困境。不僅如此,英國脫歐還開創了民族國家退出區域合作聯盟的先例,它所折射的歐洲社會反一體化和保護主義、民粹主義、國家主義的抬頭,不僅將對歐洲國家治理和區域轉型產生重要影響,有損歐盟的國際地位和全球影響力,使區域一體化和全球多邊合作面臨巨大考驗,也必將在一定程度上推動世界政治格局與全球治理體系的變革。

本書緊扣英國脫歐、歐洲轉型與國家治理三主題,闡述歐盟成員國面對債務危機所進行之結構改革、德法兩大核心成員國的政治領導與合作、中東歐國家在歐盟的利益訴求,以及歐盟主流政黨因應歐洲一體化、政治化的戰略與策略,並詳析歐洲於經濟貨幣政策、對外直接投資、就業政策協調、共同農業政策、司法整合、公民社會政治參與、基本人權保護等領域的發展與轉型。

[EUTW Book Series VII] Asian Countries’ Strategies towards the European Union in an Inter-regionalist Context
EUTW Book Series Chief Editor of the Series: Hungdah Su Chief Editors of the Book: Hungdah Su Contributors:Wai Ting, Michito Tsuruoka, Si Hong Kim, Hungdah Su, Evi Fitriani, Lay Hwee Yeo, Rajendra K. Jain, Hsin-Chih Chen, Just Castillo lglesias, Makiko Nishitani, Vincent Rollet. This is the first book on Asian countries’ strategies towards the EU.

Since the introduction of Common Foreign and Security Policy in 1993 and the publication of the EU’s first strategic document on Asia one year later, hundreds of books and journal articles have been dedicated to the study of the EU policies towards Asia as a whole, or to individual Asian countries.However, very few of these researchers ever intended to explore the strategies of Asian countries, and Asian leaders’ mindsets, vis-à-vis the EU. Quite often, the policies of Asian countries towards the EU were simply interpreted as responses to the EU’s actions in Asia.
Having been passive players for decades, Asian countries are now increasingly willing to participate in the formulation of regional and global orders, for which they need to articulate their own strategies and the world needs to better understand their mindsets. In the past two years, in the framework of EU Centres in Asia-Pacific, some top Asian scholars on EU-Asian relations were brought together to debate the strategies of individual Asian countries towards the EU, and evaluate the EU’s actions in the region.In their eyes, the EU was interpreted as a normative power, a security player, a civilian promoter and a health-care supplier. Together, they aimed to establish some common rules for explaining Asian countries’ strategies towards the EU after in-depth study of the actions of individual countries in their bilateral relations with the EU.
This book is therefore indispensable to any efforts to understand Asian leaders’ mindset in the EU-Asian relationsand their strategies towards the EU in the twenty-first century.

Introduction:

After encountering impacts resulting from economic globalization and a technological revolution in the 1980s, Europe formed the European Union (EU), creating a single European market and transforming European societies. To date, Europeans do not fear the rise or development of their neighboring countries, because all European countries are closely linked through laws and regulations, pursuing wellbeing and freedom in their exchanges. Furthermore, Europeans believe that people should act in accordance with international laws, and that legal systems are the means to ensuring peace and democratic order. In 2012, the EU received a Nobel Peace Prize for its contribution in advocating peace for over six decades. This distinction is worthy of great respect.
Generally, European nations do not tend to transform other countries through aggressive or invasive approaches; instead, they prefer to adopt the EU foreign policy, providing economic and technical support, and participating in international peacekeeping operations, crisis management, and humanitarian aid. The EU has achieved international influence with this approach.
However, the EU differs from general international organizations in its international influence. For example, because the EU is a community of democracies, Greece, the Czech Republic, and Romania had to implement constitutional democracies to join. Poland included the protection of ethnic minorities in the Constitution of Poland in its effort to join the EU. To ease its relationship with the neighboring EU, Russia signed the Kyoto Protocol, accepting international regulations regarding environmental protection. Moreover, among all international organizations, the EU was the only organization that successfully implemented a democracy promotion project. This success is exemplified by the adoption of democracy by certain Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) countries after the European Commission proposed relevant membership conditions and requirements. When communism collapsed in CEE, the CEE countries evaluated the major detriments (e.g., EU trade, investments, and economic support) to being outside of the EU. Consequently, several CEE countries agreed to abide by the requirements of the European Commission, implementing parliamentary democracies and market economies. This demonstrated that the EU is a normative power. The non-coercive power exhibited by the EU (e.g., promoting concepts, justifying knowledge and laws, and providing economic support internationally) deserves recognition. This conduct is referred to as the EU’s soft power.
However, our views regarding global societies are based primarily on American sources, which do not necessarily reveal the full extent of the EU’s soft power. This book was edited based on that consideration. Scholars were invited to compile relevant topics; however, because of the limited length of this book, several germane issues may have been overlooked. The book was compiled following an article assessment by two scholars at an academic seminar and anonymous reviews by two additional scholars appointed through letters from the European Union Centre in Taiwan (EUTW). Following revisions and finalization, the book was approved in an editorial board meeting before being submitted for publication.
This book could not have been completed without assistance. I would like to express my gratitude to the former Vice President of the National Taiwan University, Tzong-ho Bau; the Director of the EUTW, Hungdah Su; and the master’s students from the Graduate Institute of European Studies at Tamkang University. Finally, I would like to thank the National Taiwan University Press for publishing this book.

[EUTW Book Series III] Interfaces: EU Studies and European Languages Programs in East Asia
Editors:Dr. Jose E. Borao Mateo and Dr. Vassilis Vagios Coauthor:Dr. Hungdah Su, Dr. Hans Werner Hess, Dr. Aleksandar Pavković, Dr. Roland Vogt, Dr. Jose E. Borao Mateo, Dr. Wai-Meng Chan, Dr. Andrew E. Finch, Dr. Chung Heng Shen, Dr. Yi-De Liu, Dr. Vassilis Vagios Partly due to the European Union’s insistent and successful policies on pluriculturalism and plurilinguism, there have recently been voices challenging the prevalent and practical consensus in East Asian educational policies that saw English as the only tool for international communication. Their argument emphasizes that when dealing with countries that are sellers of goods and services, knowledge of the languages and cultures of prospective customers is essential. They also acknowledge the strong correlation between economic and political power and the extensive study of foreign languages. This book takes a stand on important aspects of this multifaceted argument. The first part addresses the meaning of European Studies, an issue of great relevance now that Europe, in sharp contrast to East Asia, is experiencing a severe economic recession. The second part presents formulas that have been employed by institutions in East Asia in attempting to satisfy the needs of students and scholars for advanced knowledge of European languages as they strive for answers to their research questions on Europe. The final part deals with the difficult issue of linking the syllabuses of European Studies and foreign languages. The consensus that emerges from the scholars contributing to this book points towards rejecting the addition of large scale resources for the creation of successful programs in outstanding universities. Instead, it seems preferable to maximize existing resources by creating conditions that allow ad-hoc cross campus cooperation, and foster mobility of students through exchange programs so that they can have their own European experience.
