CfP for EU-China/Asia Relations at the 46^th UACES Annual Conference 
London, 5-7 September 2016

After celebrating the 40^th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations in 2015, the relations between the European Union and China enters a new chapter, based on three important pillars of dialogue: strategic partnership, economic and trade; and people to people exchange. The UACES Collaborative Research Network on EU-China relations has successfully organised numerous panels at UACES annual conferences in Passau, Leeds, Cork and Bilbao to review this evolving relationship and its wide spectrum.
