While this should be relatively straightforward, this book warns that it is unlikely to be so. The major stumbling block is not Chinese opposition, as is so often assumed, or populist resistance but a lack of sufficient political will on both sides. This stems from a mutual lack of awareness which in turn is due to the relative stagnation of bilateral trade. A successful outcome would therefore act as a catalyst in developing relations further. The author examines the principal obstacles to reaching an agreement and the ways of overcoming them. The book should be of interest to policy makers, negotiators and advisors involved in the forthcoming negotiations but also to anyone with an interest in the EU?s relations with Taiwan. . 410 0$aThe European Union in International Affairs,$x2662-5911 606 $aEuropean Union 606 $aAsia?Politics and government 606 $aPublic policy 606 $aInternational organization 606 $aEuropean Union Politics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911140 606 $aAsian Politics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911110 606 $aPublic Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911060 606 $aInternational Organization$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912010 615 0$aEuropean Union. 615 0$aAsia?Politics and government. 615 0$aPublic policy. 615 0$aInternational organization. 615 14$aEuropean Union Politics. 615 24$aAsian Politics. 615 24$aPublic Policy. 615 24$aInternational Organization. 676 $a320.94 700 $aReilly$b Michael$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0873405 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300515803321 996 $aTowards an EU-Taiwan Investment Agreement$91992201 997 $aUNINA
