This book explores the diplomatic, political, strategic, and ideological cross-currents in the fragile but promising state-to-state relationship between China and India. Set in a geopolitical context ten years after the two Asian neighbours had agreed to fashion a Strategic and Cooperative Partnership for Peace and Prosperity, the analysis is focused on the promise as well as the portents. Looking ahead, the author envisions a sunrise idea of Sino-Indian Smart Zone as a possible post-modern scenario.Contents:Sunrise Powers of the Twenty-First Century:Global Status of China and IndiaSnap-Shot of Economic and Military ProfilesStrategic SynergiesNew Sea-Cyber-Space Paradigm of PowerMore than What Meets the EyeGames and Counter-GamesA Space-Leap ForwardTowards China-India Synergy in SpaceIdeologies of the Heart and the Mind:Lure and Logic of Sino-Indian Five PrinciplesBeyond the Original Tibetan ContextUnusual ‘Niche’ for Five PrinciplesNonalignment and Neo-NonalignmentThe Anti-Hegemony NormInterests and Concerns:The Core of Sino-Indian TiesThe Pakistan FactorA Nuclear DimensionThe Tibet PuzzleIndia’s ‘Closed Window’ on TibetSynergies and Power Politics:An Upswing in India-US Defence TiesRussia and a Tale of Two FriendsThe Xi DoctrineSino-Indian Counter-Terror SynergyTowards Sino-Indian Economic SynergyA Unique China-India Nuclear MantraChina and India in the US CalculusAn Asian Security CouncilA Creative Scenario:Strategic and Historic BordersA History-Shaping PulloutEnigmatic Realities’Clarification of Line of Actual Control’‘One-China, One-India’Talking the Walk Towards…:From ‘Strategic Partnership’ to ‘Major-Power’ EngagementIndia Asks China to Reconsider its ApproachPlain Markers for the FutureAppendices:China’s Perspective on IndiaIndia’s Perspective on ChinaAn Internationalist Perspective on China-India TiesReadership: Students and researchers interested in China-India relations;diplomats, policy makers, scholars, journalists and general readers.Key Features:By being focused on China-India relations in the context of a newly-‘assertive’ India, the book differs significantly from other titles on Sino-Indian issuesEmphasizes the new model of neighbourliness between two ‘rival’ states and the imaginative scenario of a possible Sino-Indian Smart Zone that could become a Sino-Indian Hemisphere
