冷戰結束後，歐盟開始調整對亞洲的策略，1995年歐盟首度提出〈中歐關係長期政策〉白皮書。1996年亞歐會議(ASEM)的出現，提供了中、歐雙邊另一個互動平台。在冷戰後新的國際政經格局中，亞歐會議將原本亞、歐都以美國為中心的戰略格局，提供了三者三角關係的另一邊實線關係。中國與歐盟關係透過亞歐會議，所起作用與角色，以及對未來雙邊關係之發展為何，是本文所欲探討的重點。在全球化、區域化浪潮下，本文試從「國際體制」三大學派－權力、利益與認知三種不同面向，針對中國與歐盟在亞歐會議中的關係進行檢視。

After the Cold War, the EU adapted a new strategy toward Asia. In 1995, the EU adapted the white paper policy-"A Long Term Policy For China-Europe Relations". ASEM, founded in 1996, provided a platform for direct interactions between EU-China. In the new situation of the world, ASEM is creating a third line of interaction between EU and China. The key discussion of this paper will be focused on the roles that EU consists of 27 countries and China play in ASEM and the future development between these two powers. Under globalization and regionalization, this article will approach the international regime issues concerning the interactions between EU and China in ASEM from a power-based, interest-based and knowledge- based perspective.
