• Sommario/riassunto: This book explores the increasing significance of European Studies in Asian contexts, particularly in non-European states. Edited by Maria Stoicheva, S. G. Sreejith, and Indranath Gupta, the work examines how European Studies as a discipline has gained traction due to the European Union's expanding foreign relations. The book discusses the establishment of think tanks, policy institutes, and educational programs dedicated to European Studies. It addresses the need for systematic audits of how European Studies is taught outside Europe, emphasizing its historical and political dimensions. The book is targeted at academics, policymakers, and students interested in international relations and European Studies.
