Letter from the President
Publishing a journal is one thing. Making space for real thinking is another. One is about putting things together. The other is about taking responsibility for what those things mean. In this third edition of the Journal of Asia and Europe Relations, we have tried to do both. Not perfectly, and not without struggle. But we have done so with care, and with a strong sense of purpose.
Editors’ Note
With the spirit of fostering diversity of views, dialogue, and to bridge knowledge exchange, these informed our article selection for this edition. In this third edition, the theme “Navigating Shifting Currents: Trade and Security Dynamics in Europe-Asia Relations” was chosen to analyse cooperation among Europe and Asia in times of seemingly changing international context, from waning US’ influence to rising China, from regime change to conflicts and war, these developments seem to shape the current global affairs in 2024 and 2025.
