The Routledge Handbook of China–India Relations provides a much-needed understanding of the important and complex relationship between India and China. Reflecting the consequential and multifaceted nature of the bilateral relationship, it brings together thirty-five original contributions by a wide range of experts in the field. The chapters show that China–India relations are more far-reaching and complicated than ever and marked by both conflict and cooperation. Following a thorough introduction by the Editors, the handbook is divided into seven parts which combine thematic and chronological principles:






Historical overviews
Culture and strategic culture: constructing the other
Core bilateral conflicts
Military relations
Economy and development
Relations with third parties
China, India, and global order

This handbook will be an essential reference work for scholars interested in International Relations, Asian Politics, Global Politics, and China–India relations.
