Abstract

Against the background of ever stronger linkages between the EU and China as well as their emphatically voiced objective to jointly shape the increasingly multi-polar world, the article at hand endeavors to address the question how a liberally informed EU and a politically distinctly illiberal China may actually come to cooperate, that is, “work together for a common purpose”. To this end, this analysis reviews the past decade of EU-China normatively divergent, and even competitive encounters in Central Asia’s security realm and, on this basis, delineates a possible future mode of EU-China interaction in and beyond Central Asia, illustrating what cooperation between normatively divergent powers could look like in a multi-polar age.
