ABSTRACT

The relationship between China and India is widely regarded as one of the central pivots of world politics. While China–US relations will be determinative of global security, global governance, and even global prosperity, the interactions between the two Asian giants could well become the second most consequential bilateral relationship in international politics. China–India relations will influence China–US relations, diplomacy in Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Europe, and the Americas, the future of global and regional institutions, and the world economy.
