This book examines the dynamics of the modern relationship between
China and India. As key emerging powers in the international
system, India and especially China have received much attention.
However, most analysts who have studied Sino-Indian relations have
done so through a neorealist lens which emphasizes the conflictual
and competitive elements within the overall relationship. This has
had the effect of obscuring how the China-India relationship is
currently in the process of transformation.
Drawing on a detailed and systematic analysis of the interlinked
and increasingly important issues of maritime security in the
Indian Ocean region, energy demands and concerns, and economic
growth and interchange, Amardeep Athwal shows that not only is
there an absence of mutual threat perception, but Sino-Indian
bilateral trade is increasingly being framed institutionally and
China and India are also beginning to coordinate policy in
important areas such as energy policy. He concludes that neorealist
accounts of Sino-Indian relations have difficulty in explaining
these recent developments. However, rather than rejecting
neorealist explanations in their entirety, he points towards a
theoretical pluralism with an appeal to 'soft' realism and theories
of neoliberalism and peaceful change.
China-India Relations will be of interest to scholars of
international relations and politics, international business and
Asian studies.
