While the rise of China has long been an accepted fact of international economic and political relations, the more recent rise of India as an economic power has provoked intense global interest. This book presents a Chinese assessment of how China and India see themselves each in relation to the other, focusing on their experiences of modernization and economic reform and their ramifications on each country’s role in global affairs. Eschewing the geo-political idiom of competition and rivalry between emerging Asian giants, the book seeks to understand the parallel, complementary, convergent and divergent development experiences from a more self-consciously geo-civilizational perspective, contextualizing developments in both the short-term framework of independent nationhood, against the more immediate background of nationalist and anti-imperialist struggles, and in the longue durée of shared, continental histories.

Prof. Tan Chung is an Emeritus Fellow of the Institute of Chinese Studies. He has been a Consultant of IGNCA from 1989 onwards to help develop its East Asian Programme.
Dr. Patricia Uberoi is an Honorary Fellow and present Director of the Institute of Chinese Studies. She is a Professor in Social Change and Development at the Institute of Economic Growth, Delhi.
