The China-India relationship is one of the keys to international security, the future of Asia, and the well-being of nearly 3 billion people. Since early May 2020, border tensions between the two powers have underlined the potential for conflict between them. In 2017, their armies faced off for 73 days. At the same time, they have built a system of engagement designed to manage conflict and their larger rivalry. Their leaders meet regularly, they hold talks on the border quarrel, they have a series of confidence building measures, and they trade and invest with each other. They also cooperate multilaterally.
What are the drivers of the relationship? How can they manage conflict and rivalry? Are there cooperative steps forward, now and looking ahead?
Two years ago, the Centre on Asia and Globalisation, Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, National University of Singapore, set out to answer these and other vital questions by working with Routledge UK to produce the Routledge Handbook of China-India Relations (https://www.routledge.com/Routledge-Handbook-of-ChinaIndia-Relations-1st-Edition/Bajpai-Ho-Miller/p/book/9781138545939). The book was published earlier this year. It assembled experts from China, India, Singapore, other parts of Asia, Australia, Brazil, Europe, and the United States and has 35 chapters on a range of China-India issues.
We are pleased to present a discussion on China-India relations and to launch the Handbook in collaboration with the Lakshmi Mittal and Family South Asia Institute, Harvard University.
