Partners in need, partners indeed?
Tracking Europe–Taiwan relations amidst global disruption
Presentation of a study of the Central European Institute of Asian Studies (CEIAS)
Since 2020, Europe-Taiwan relations have intensified at both the EU
institutional level and among EU member states.
While most European countries are increasingly open to engaging with Taiwan, they are doing so at different speeds and with varying risk appetites. A new study by the Central European Institute of Asian Studies (CEIAS) groups European countries into four categories: old partners, new friends, pragmatists, and laggards. In this panel discussion, Taiwan’s relations with the European Union and selected European countries, particularly Austria, Czechia, Norway, and Slovakia, will be examined.
