The first book to focus in depth on ASEAN's external relations, written by leading globally-based scholars.
This volume collects papers that explore institutionalisation in contemporary transatlantic relations. Policymakers, lawyers, and political scientists reflect on contemporary understandings of the process as an integration of regimes and orders from an EU perspective. The papers assess whether contemporary transatlantic relations call for a different approach to global governance with a heightened emphasis on institutionalisation. The book explores a diverse range of case studies of interest to a broad readership. In particular, it focuses upon two cutting-edge issues: transatlantic data privacy rules that are emerging after the post-Edward Snowdon / NSA / PRISM revelations; and trade aspect...
EU-Japan free trade agreement negotiations have made promising progress in the shadow of highly scrutinized Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) and Transpacific Partnership (TPP) talks. EU trade policy, it appears, has only been partially and selectively politicized "in favor" of TTIP, while EU-Japan free trade agreement negotiations remind observers of the trade policy modus operandi of the pre-Lisbon Treaty era. This article reviews the mercantilist 'competitive liberalization' dynamics that underlie the negotiation strategies of EU and Japanese policymakers and provides an outlook as to whether EU-Japan economic relations could follow TTIP in making the important step from "negative" to "positive" integration by means of intensified regulatory cooperation.

Despite the high frequency of their interactions, the policy coordination process between the United Nations (UN) and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has been underexamined in global and regional governance and ASEAN studies literature. To chart this important terrain, this incisive book contributes to scholarship by investigating UN-ASEAN policy coordination in the case of trafficking in persons (TIP).

President Woodrow Wilson riding down the Champs-Élysées in December 1918 to meet with the leaders of the victorious Allies at the Paris Peace Conference marked a break from a long tradition where US presidents directed foreign policy, and direct engagement with foreign counterparts was not considered a central duty. Not until the arrival of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s administration over a decade later would this change. In The Diplomatic Presidency: American Foreign Policy from FDR to George H. W. Bush Tizoc Chavez reveals the long-overlooked history of the rise of personal diplomacy as one of the core responsibilities of the modern president. The modern presidency as it took shape during t...
