A conference in Macau in May 1997 is the source for these 12 papers by policy makers, government officials, and academics on the current bilateral policies between Europe and China. Neves (Asia program director, Institute of International and Strategic Studies, Lisbon) and Bridges (politics, sociology, Lingnan U., Hong Kong) co-wrote a paper on the book's underlying theme of the history and present relationships between China, its two new SARs (Special Administrative RegionHong Kong and Macau) and Europe. Three papers give the Chinese point of view toward Europe, the rest look at French, British, German, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese, Hispanic and EU relations towards China. Annotation c.
