These perceptions – and they are multiple – are particularly important to the People’s Republic of China as the country grapples with its increasingly prominent role on the international stage, and equally important to Europe as it attempts to come to terms with the technological, social and economic advances of the Belt and Road Initiative.    The authors are, on the whole, senior academics specializing in such topics as International Relations and Security, Public Diplomacy, Media and Cultural Studies, and Philosophy and Religion from more than a dozen different European countries and are involved in various international projects focussed on Europe-China relations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Graphs, Figures and Tables  Notes on Contributors    Introduction    Stephen Rowley    1 ‘Stuck between a Rock and a Hard Place’   Europe, the EU and the New Chinese Century    David J Galbreath, Neville Chi Hang Li and Max Roger Taylor    2 Spain’s Views of China   The Economy Is The Key    Mario Esteban    3 Kyiv – Beijing Relations in the Context of the Ukrainian-Russian Conflict   Interests, Concerns and Images    Olexiy Haran    4 Sino-Polish Relations   From Socialist Brothers to the Post-Cold War Period’s Reconfigurations    Dominik Mierzejewski    5 German and Hungarian Views on The Belt and Road Initiative – A Power Game Balance in Central Europe?    Csaba Moldicz    6 Transnational Organized Crime and Foreign Direct Investment in Spain   What Could the Government-Supported Chinese FDI Learn from the Russian Precedent?    Rubén Ruiz Ramas    7 Know Better, Like Better   An Appraisal of the Effect of the Belt and Road Initiative on Chinese Brand Image in France    Youssef El Haoussine    8 China’s Image in the Czech Republic   Media Reflection of Elite Policies    Ivana Karásková    9 China’s Image in Belgian Media   Between Fascination and Fear    Erik Vlaeminck    10 Exploring Public Perceptions of, and Interactions with, the Chinese in Hungary    Irina Golubeva    11 China – A View from Romania Beyond Perceptions and Stereotypes    Mariana Nicolae    12 China’s Public Diplomacy Versus Mainstream Media’s Narrative   A Challenge in Image and Reputation Management    Greg Simons    13 The Spiritual Roots of Typical European (and Western) Evaluations of China    Kaspars Klavins    14 The Historical Foundation for a Speculative BRI as the Best Route to a Renewed Self    Jean-Paul Rosaye    Index","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51535927050583,"sku":"9789004469839","price":132.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/european-perceptions-of-china-and-perspectives-on-the-belt-and-road-initiative-9789004469839","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
