[英文摘要] :
This is the first book on Asian countries’ strategies towards the EU. 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.

The EU as a Health Actor in Asia: EU-Asian Interregional Response to Highly Pathogenic and (Re)emerging Diseases
Abstract
Highly pathogenic and (re)emerging diseases (HPEDs)2
cause serious
crises, affect livelihoods and could potentially undermine economy as
well as societal stability. In the last three decades, over 30 new pathogens
have been detected, 75% of which have originated from animals. Highly
pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) or pandemic influenza (H5N1) has
been the most significant of these during the last five years. These new
pathogens – or zoonosis – remain unpredictable and continue to emerge
and spread across countries, and many of them have deeply affected
countries in Asia. In that region and in Europe, governments as well as
regional organizations, such as the European Union (EU), the Association
of South-East Asian Nations (ASEAN) and the South Asian Association for
Regional Cooperation (SAARC) have made significant efforts to provide a
response to these challenges of global health with mixed results. Since 2006,
Asia and Europe have been involved in several Asia-Europe interregional
initiatives aiming to respond notably to the pandemic influenza threat.
In that context and in the light of the current debate within the
discipline of International Relations (IR) about the nature and role of
interregionalism, this chapter proposes first to map the different AsiaEurope
interregional health initiatives dedicated to the prevention and
control of pandemic influenza and to categorize them into a conceptualized
typology in order to better appreciate the very nature of Asia-Europe health
interregionalism in that specific field of public health. Then, it appreciates
the potential functions of some of these initiatives and by extension of the health interregionalism between Asia and Europe.
