INDIA AND CHINA : THE NEXT DECADE

India and China have emerged
as two of the most critical players in Asia as well as on the world stage.
Their mutual engagement during the coming decades will significantly
influence the defining of strategic economic relations in Asia and beyond.
While China has been accepted as an observer in the South Asian Association
for Regional Cooperation, India has also made a place for itself in the East
Asia Summit and the Shanghai Cooperation organization. Both India and China
have issues of common concern in world politics related to energy security,
climate change, terrorism and global financial instability.This volume
resulted from a joint seminar held by the Observer Research Foundation and
Calcutta University. It probes the constructive as well as problematic
dimensions of the India-China engagement. Well-known economists, strategic
experts, senior diplomats and policy makers have made an in-depth and
analytic study to present a balanced and meaningful portrait of Asia’s two
great giants.
