Abstract:
The European Union still lacks the ability to equal the political
association’s effect on the world economy, regardless of possessing one of the largest
economies in the world. The EU is mainly concerned with addressing regional
policy-related problems, but it also takes a worldwide perspective into account when
writing security policy papers. The end situation calls for more active involvement
in world events in remote regions, with East Asia being especially important given
its ongoing development. This paper analyzes the role of Japan in the foreign policy
strategies adopted by the European Union since 1994 until including the region of
East Asia.
