The EU is promoting cultural relations with Asian countries. While building interpersonal and institutional connections, the EU pays special attention to Japan. The image of the EU and its mutual relations with Japan are generally recognised as predominantly good and trustworthy. This paper will examine the process of building creative/progressive cultural relations between the EU and Japan based on two hypotheses; fi rst: despite the fact that the EU tried to develop cultural relations within Japan, the embassies of the EU Member States are far more active in cultural programs than the EU Delegation; and secondly: the reception of the EU as a historic and cultural project is rather fragmented (as opposed to being holistic) in Japan. The aim of this research is to analyse, compare, and evaluate both the effort and achievements made by the EU and Japan in the process of building creative cultural relations. The research will demonstrate an analytical approach in the political sciences discipline.

“Taking ideas seriously” means not only to consider their causal and constitutive role in the study of social phenomena, but also to analyse how and why certain ideas gain or lose prominence within political institutions and discourses. One approach to these issues builds upon the notion of policy paradigms, which influence the results of policy-making process by shaping the political actors’ understanding of problems that need to be solved and limiting available policy options. This article attempts to show how the ability to modernise the EU governance within the paradigm of European integration heading towards “an ever closer union among the peoples of Europe” has been called into question by the crisis which began in 2008. Two potential new paradigms of integration are considered: first one suggests controlled disintegration and differentiation of EU structures, second one proposes a reinterpretation of federalism as a way to reconsolidate the Union.

This chapter first outlines the important opportunities offered by the European Union’s (EU’s) commitment to human rights in light of an increasingly worrisome internal and international context, characterised by enduring conflicts and a rise in authoritarianism and populism. Building on the foregoing chapters, this chapter then reflects on the challenge faced by the EU to deliver on its commitment to human rights. This chapter examines the challenge of delivery from a triple perspective: implementation, coherence, and effectiveness. The implementation section takes a descriptive approach to the delivery challenge, by exposing the various ways in which the EU fails to concretely apply its commitment in its daily operations. The coherence section takes an analytical approach to the delivery challenge by explaining it in terms of misalignments in the EU’s institutional and policy set-up. Finally, the effectiveness section takes a normative approach to the delivery challenge by suggesting ways in which the EU’s commitment can become more successful in improving respect for human rights within and outside the Union. The chapter then concludes with recommendations.
