      abstract = {Unpacking EU Policy-Making towards China is a must-read  for those wanting a richer understanding of the forces  driving EU economic policy. Featuring in-depth analyses of  EU disputes with China in areas like solar panels and  telecommunications, this book reveals what analytical tools  best illuminate EU policy-making at various stages of the  policy process. It is invaluable to academics,  businesspeople, and decision-makers interested in the EU  and EU-China relations specifically, and foreign economic  policy generally.-Jean-Marc F. Blanchard, Ph. D., Founding  Executive Director, Mr. & Mrs. S.H. Wong Center for the  Study of Multinational Corporations. This book examines  different intellectual frameworks for international  relations, including the bureaucratic politics model,  neorealism, and institutionalism as tools for understanding  the European Unions (EU) China policy. Based on a study of  three political economy-related cases, it demonstrates what  approaches not just apply, but apply best in various stages  of the policy cycle, why some models apply to several  policy stages, and why some seem to work better than others  in certain policy stages. The three cases include the  EU-China solar panel dispute (20122018), the EU  investigation into Chinese mobile telecommunications  networks (20122014), and the EUs response to Chinas rise in  Africa via the European Commission initiated  EU-China-Africa trilateral cooperation initiative in 2008.  Those interested in EU-China affairs can apply this  innovative analytical framework to these three cases and a  wide range of other issues; scholars, journalists,  diplomats, and businesspeople will find this book of value.
