These changes not only threaten several Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) members\u0026rsquo; foreign policy autonomy and undermine ASEAN unity and centrality but, in doing so, provide a real opportunity for the EU to play a greater role in the region. At a time when many Southeast Asian countries seek to avoid putting all their eggs in one basket and increasingly try to tackle excessive dependencies on China, the EU, which already has made substantial investments in the region, may be able to build onto existing relationships in the economic, political, and security realms and solidify them.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Dr. Katja Weber contributed chapter seven to the recently published book \u0022New Challenges and Opportunities in European-Asian Relations.\u0022"}],"uid":"35925","created_gmt":"2021-09-16 18:37:24","changed_gmt":"2021-09-16 18:37:36","author":"rallister3","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2021-09-16T00:00:00-04:00","iso_date":"2021-09-16T00:00:00-04:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"650849":{"id":"650849","type":"image","title":"New Challenges and Opportunities in European-Asian Relations","body":null,"created":"1631817223","gmt_created":"2021-09-16 18:33:43","changed":"1631817223","gmt_changed":"2021-09-16 18:33:43","alt":"","file":{"fid":"246970","name":"New Challenges and Opportunities in European-Asian Relations.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/New%20Challenges%20and%20Opportunities%20in%20European-Asian%20Relations.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/New%20Challenges%20and%20Opportunities%20in%20European-Asian%20Relations.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":213008,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/New%20Challenges%20and%20Opportunities%20in%20European-Asian%20Relations.jpg?itok=uKjLN34x"}}},"media_ids":["650849"],"groups":[{"id":"1285","name":"Sam Nunn School of International Affairs"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EChristopher McDermott\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003Echris.mcdermott@gatech.edu\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EResearch Associate I\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ECenter for International Strategy, Technology, and Policy\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ESam Nunn School of International Affairs|Georgia\u0026nbsp;Institute of\u0026nbsp;Technology\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
