Book description

The Routledge Handbook of China?India Relations provides a much-needed understanding of the important and complex relationship between India and China. Reflecting the consequential and multifaceted nature of the bilateral relationship, it brings together thirty-five original contributions by a wide range of experts in the field. The chapters show that China?India relations are more far-reaching and complicated than ever and marked by both conflict and cooperation. Following a thorough introduction by the Editors, the handbook is divided into seven parts which combine thematic and chronological principles:

• Historical overviews
• Culture and strategic culture: constructing the other
• Core bilateral conflicts
• Military relations
• Economy and development
• Relations with third parties
• China, India, and global order

This handbook will be an essential reference work for scholars interested in International Relations, Asian Politics, Global Politics, and China?India relations.
