Book Description
Ensembles historiques et culturels fondamentalement différents, l'Asie et l'Europe se sont perçues - et se perçoivent encore? - à travers des prismes déformants. Depuis la fin des années 1950, certaines économies asiatiques ont connu un remarquable développement impliquant la recherche de marchés extérieurs parmi lesquels l'Europe occupe une place de choix. Mais la nature même du développement économique en Asie pose la question de savoir si, demain, l'Union européenne s'érigera en forteresse tentant de résister aux avancées asiatiques ou si, au contraire, elle cherchera à établir un véritable partenariat, notamment avec l'Inde et la Chine. Au delà des questions de nature économique, celles relevant de l'analyse politique ne doivent-elles pas être posées? Les rapports entre l'Union et les membres de l'ASEAN inclineraient à répondre positivement. Ils invitent à la prospective, à l'exemple de l'évolution des relations euro-japonaises depuis le début des années 1990. Celle-ci paraît en effet démontrer qu'une meilleure connaissance des caractères structurels et culturels du lien Europe-Asie inscrits dans la durée, constitue, notamment, un facteur déterminant du développement des relations économiques.

Book Description
This comprehensive, annotated, multivolume bibliography is a record of all printed works touching on some aspect of the political, religious, cultural, or social history of the Hawaiian Islands-from the first printed notice mentioning the Islands (in a German periodical of January 1780) to the beginning of the twentieth century, when the Islands ceased to be a separate political entity. Volume I covers the period from 1780 to 1830, when exploratory voyages to the northern Pacific had largely concluded and the arrival of improved printing equipment in the Islands resulted in a substantial increase in the number of works printed by the Mission Press in Honolulu. In addition to books and pamphlets, the bibliography includes newspaper and periodical accounts and single sheet publications such as broadsides, circulars, playbills, and handbills because they often contain the only eyewitness or contemporary description of an important event or individual. Entries pertaining to Captain Cook's Third Voyage dominate the first twenty years of the bibliography. They reflect the profound impact of the voyage on both the Hawaiian culture and on nineteenth-century European thought. Extensive annotations provide a brief summary of approximately 760 published works in the first volume of the bibliography. All known editions of each work are listed, together with the exact title, date of publication, size of the volume, collation of pages, number and type of plates and maps, references, and location of copies. The bibliography will be invaluable to scholars, librarians, rare book sellers, and book collectors within the field of Hawaiiana.
