This book explores the geo-political risks in Europe and the Indo-Pacific region and interaction between the two regions in the rapidly changing global political landscape. The book explores the reasons for Europe extending its reach and engagement in the Indo-Pacific region, and the Indo-Pacific region increasing its ties with Europe.  The book goes on to consider the impact and implications of these engagements on the global order, analyzing cases of potential geopolitical risks brought on by EU-India relations, EU-China relations, EU-Peru-China relations, EU in the Sino-Philippine territorial disputes, and EU’s role in North Korean Nuclear matters. The book would be a valuable read for scholars of international relations and politics, policymakers, and those interested in the interactions between the two regions.

This book explores the evolving landscape of global political economy amidst a shifting global order, ushered in by the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza, and rising trade and political disputes between the US, China and the EU, leading to a rise in protectionist policies and disruptions in global supply chains leading to high inflation, and energy and food crises.

Focusing on the relations between the European Union and the Indo-Pacific region, this book examines how recent protectionist policies are reshaping economic security and cooperation between the two actors.
