标题：The EU through the Eyes of Asia: Media, Public and Elite Perceptions in China, Japan, Korea, Singapore and Thailand edited by Martin Holland, Peter Ryan, Alojzy Z. Nowak and Natalia Chaban, Singapore-Warsaw: University of Warsaw, 2007, 301 pp.
摘要：How do Asians view the European Union (EU). In what ways and under what capacity are the union frequently portrayed by Asian media. A crucial question then follows: is the EU an important entity for the Chinese, Japanese, Singaporeans, Koreans and Thais. In essence these are the issues this book tackles. To answer these questions, it combines rigorous and in-depth analysis of media evaluation, public opinion survey and interviews with country elites. Four frames, namely the EU as an economic actor, the EU as a political actor, the EU as a social actor and the EU as an environmental actor, were employed to look at the depiction of the union in the media and the perceptions of the public and elites of the union. In addition, the portrayal and views are further evaluated to be positive, negative or neutral. The extensive nature of the research project supported by empirically rich data certainly provided insights and deeper understanding on how these selected Asian countries view the EU. For this reason, the book is a must read for those working in the EU-Asia relations or seeking an understanding of how Asian media, public and elites perceive the union
