Smart diplomacy: exploring China-India synergy
"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. The aim of the book is to alert international diplomats, policy makers, academic scholars, and general readers alike to the inevitable importance of a potential China–India paradigm in Asia. This is considered significant at a time when global political attention in Asia is focused mainly on the challenges in the US-China and China–Japan relations. The book is written with a journalist's precision and is laced with the flavour of political research."--Provided by publisher
