The Changing Contours of Sino-Indian Relations: From Geopolitical Rivalry to Geoeconomic Interdependence

Sino-Indian relations present a fascinating and complex area of study. Few bilateral relationships encompass such diverse dimensions, ranging from border disputes and strategic concerns to expanding economic cooperation, cultural exchanges, and multilateral engagement. The relationship reflects both the challenges of managing historical differences and the opportunities arising from shared aspirations for growth, development, and international influence.

This book seeks to examine these changing dynamics by exploring the evolution of Sino-Indian relations in the age of globalization. It analyses how historical experiences, geopolitical realities, economic interests, and global transformations have collectively shaped the iii relationship between the two countries. Particular emphasis has been placed on understanding the gradual shift from a predominantly geopolitical framework to one in which geoeconomic considerations have acquired increasing significance.
