Rare earths, indispensable inputs for high tech, military, and renewable applications, remain in the hands of China, a power on the rise. Largely out of the public eye prior to 2010, rare earths, and China's monopoly over them, became international news after China "unofficially" halted exports to Japan, the United States, and Europe following a collision between Chinese and Japanese boats in the East China Sea. Focusing on China's monopoly over the rare earth0industry, this book examines the impacts of growing worldwide resource competition and the complexities policymakers face as they develop strategies and responses in an increasingly globalized world

Focusing on the collaboration between the EU and China, this book explores how their partnership could create a unified vision and strategic plan for addressing challenges in the Anthropocene. It offers valuable insights for students and scholars interested in environmental politics, international relations, climate change, and energy law and policy, emphasizing the importance of cooperation in tackling global issues.
