The development of transport and communications infrastructure in the region as well as resource wealth rapidly change its status in geopolitical arena. This collection explores the European Union's growing substantial geopolitical interest and presence in Central Asia. Authors analyze changes in the EU's economy, trade and investment relations with the region. They not only explain why the Central Asian region was until recently not regarded by the EU's trade and investment as a priority but identify the potential areas of cooperation, including water management, energy and transport. Authors discuss European engagement in various energy projects aiming mainly to secure energy supply and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This book also examines the EU's strategy priorities towards Central Asia; i.e. democracy, human rights, rule of law, and good governance. The collection provides clear, concise and fresh explanations of relations between the EU and Central Asian states. An important book recommended for professionals and students of political science and international relations. 606 $aGeopolitics 606 $aEuropean Union 606 $apolitical science 606 $aInternational Relations 606 $aCentral Asia 607 $aEuropean Union countries$xForeign relations 607 $aEuropean Union countries$xForeign relations$zAsia, Central 607 $aAsia, Central$xForeign relations$zEuropean Union countries 615 00$aGeopolitics 615 00$aEuropean Union 615 00$apolitical science 615 00$aInternational Relations 615 00$aCentral Asia 702 $aPrzybylska-Maszner$b Beata$4edt 702 $aFiedler$b Radoslaw$4edt 702 $aWallas$b Tadeusz$4edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820808803321 996 $aEuropean Union and Central Asia$93990485 997 $aUNINA
