[EUTW Book Series XIII] European Dream and Reluctant Integration in the 21st Century: Lessons for Ongoing Asian Regionalism
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 VII] Asian Countries’ Strategies towards the European Union in an Inter-regionalist Context
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.

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.
