China and South Asia

A comprehensive study of China’s relations and policy with each of the South Asian nations, this book is a part of the Observer Research Foundation’s ongoing study of developments in China. Examining China’s political and social evolution, its economy, and its affects on India and the world—particularly due to its foreign and security policies—this analysis provides China’s economic, political, and military trajectory in a sustained and dispassionate manner. Insightful and didactic, this book will be useful to scholars, policymakers, journalists, and anyone interested in gaining a better understanding of this Asian nation.
