ABOUT THIS BOOK
As the aspirations of the two rising Asian powers collide, the China-India rivalry is likely to shape twenty-first-century international politics in the region and far beyond.
This volume by T.V. Paul and an international group of leading scholars examines whether the rivalry between the two countries that began in the 1950s will intensify or dissipate in the twenty-first century. The China-India relationship is important to analyze because past experience has shown that when two rising great powers share a border, the relationship is volatile and potentially dangerous. India and China’s relationship faces a number of challenges, including multiple border disputes that periodically flare up, division over the status of Tibet and the Dalai Lama, the strategic challenge to India posed by China's close relationship with Pakistan, the Chinese navy's greater presence in the Indian Ocean, and the two states’ competition for natural resources. Despite these irritants, however, both countries agree on issues such as global financial reforms and climate change and have much to gain from increasing trade and investment, so there are reasons for optimism as well as pessimism.
The contributors to this volume answer the following questions: What explains the peculiar contours of this rivalry? What influence does accelerated globalization, especially increased trade and investment, have on this rivalry? What impact do US-China competition and China’s expanding navy have on this rivalry? Under what conditions will it escalate or end? The China-India Rivalry in the Globalization Era will be of great interest to students, scholars, and policymakers concerned with Indian and Chinese foreign policy and Asian security.

REVIEWS
An important addition to the literature . . . students of the India-China dynamic should use it as a platform to further comparative studies of what is without doubt one of the most important bilateral relationships in the world.
-- H-Diplo
As China-India relations impact global politics and attract global attention, this collection of articles put together by T. V. Paul, Professor of International Relations at McGill University,is extremely timely. The book comprehensively examines the historical and evolving SinoIndia security dynamics, which include traditional as well as non-traditional security issues
-- The International Spectator
This is a useful book whose major strength is the diversity of well-researched perspectives it brings to the study of India–China rivalry.
-- China Report
In sum, this is a stimulating volume that provides key insights into a vital relationship in contemporary international politics.
-- International Affairs
Overall this book makes a valuable contribution to the growing literature on China-India rivalry and it should be on the reading list of every scholar and policymaker.
-- Journal of Chinese Political Science
Paul’s edited volume is indeed an incisive and solid overview of the emerging India–China relationship.
