Book Description
Academics, students, the media and the public have been increasingly drawn to China and India in recent years. Both countries were considered sleeping giants and are now turning into the motors of global economic growth. China and India are both ancient civilizations with a rich history and were among the largest economic powers until European colonization in the 19th century. After Indian independence in 1947 and the establishment of the Peoples Republic of China in 1949 both countries shared the view that economic development should be achieved through a self-sustaining economy led and controlled by the government. In the following decades the share of Chinese and Indian global trade decreased significantly. Economic reform in China and India in 1978 and 1991 respectively resulted in an increasing integration into global markets and triggered large economic growth. It is very important to note that although China and India are both rising at the same point of time, they are rising in a different pace. China outperforms India in almost every indicator of economic development. It is the key aim of this study to point out this asymmetry between China and India. Another question is, if India is capable of catching up with China in the future and its effects to Sino-Indian relations. Die Rolle von China und Indien in der Welt hat sich in den letzten Jahren sehr stark gewandelt. Aus Bittstellern wurden Gläubiger und Motoren für das globale Wirtschaftswachstum. Dieses Buch setzt sich mit den ökonomischen Asymmetrien die zwischen Indien und China existieren auseinander. Ein historischer Überblick über die mehr als 2000 Jahre zurückreichenden ökonomischen Beziehungen ist der Ausgangspunkt der Studie. Beide Volkswirtschaften werden anhand von ökonomischen Indikatoren wie Wirtschaftswachstum, Reduzierung von Armut, Integration in internationale Märkte, demographischer Wandel, institutionelle Herausforderungen usw. miteinander verglichen. In einem zweiten Schritt werden die bilateralen Handelsbeziehungen zwischen Indien und China genau analysiert. Mit Hilfe einfacher ökonomischer Methodik werden Gebiete für Kooperation und Konflikte herausgearbeitet und die gegenseitige Wahrnehmung als Handelspartner analysiert. In einem dritten Schritt werden China und Indien im globalen Handel betrachtet. Hierfür wird die Bedeutung von China und Indien als Import- und Exportpartner für die Welt beschrieben und die am häufigsten gehandelten Produkte systematisch aufgelistet. Dabei lässt sich erkennen in welchen geographischen Gebieten und bei welchen Gütern indisch-chinesische Kooperationen oder Konflikte zu erwarten sind. Eine dynamische Analyse untersucht, ob Indien seinen Rückstand auf China aufholen kann und liefert eine Prognose für zukünftige sino-indische Wirtschaftsbeziehungen.

The Oxford Handbook of Indian Foreign Policy

The Oxford Handbook of Indian Foreign Policy PDF Author: David M. Malone
Publisher: OUP Oxford
ISBN: 0191061182
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 769

Book Description
Following the end of the Cold War, the economic reforms in the early 1990s, and ensuing impressive growth rates, India has emerged as a leading voice in global affairs, particularly on international economic issues. Its domestic market is fast-growing and India is becoming increasingly important to global geo-strategic calculations, at a time when it has been outperforming many other growing economies, and is the only Asian country with the heft to counterbalance China. Indeed, so much is India defined internationally by its economic performance (and challenges) that other dimensions of its internal situation, notably relevant to security, and of its foreign policy have been relatively neglected in the existing literature. This handbook presents an innovative, high profile volume, providing an authoritative and accessible examination and critique of Indian foreign policy. The handbook brings together essays from a global team of leading experts in the field to provide a comprehensive study of the various dimensions of Indian foreign policy.

Getting China and India Right

Getting China and India Right PDF Author: Anil K. Gupta
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 0470441097
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 258

Book Description
This book is the first strategic guide for multi-national corporations (MNCs)who are contemplating expanding into both China and India. Gupta and Wang explain how many MNCs view China and India solely from the lens of off-shoring and cost-reduction, and focusing their marketing strategies on only the top 5-10% of the population. This is a missed opportunity. China and India are the only two countries that constitute four realities that are strategically crucial for the global enterprise: Both provide mega-markets for almost every product and service Both have platforms that will dramatically reduce the company's global cost structure Both have platforms that will significantly boost the company's global technology and innovation base Both are springboards for the mergence of new fearsome global competitors. This book aims to shed light on the brutal competition for markets and resources in China and India as well as lays out the strategic action implications for those companies who want to emerge as the global players of tomorrow.

China, India, and the Future of the World Economy: Fierce Competition Or Shared Growth?

China, India, and the Future of the World Economy: Fierce Competition Or Shared Growth? PDF Author: Betina Dimarianan

Pages : 32

Book Description
Abstract: Although both China and India are labor-abundant and dependant on manufactures, their export mixes are very different. Only one product-refined petroleum-appears in the top 25 products for both countries, and services exports are roughly twice as important for India as for China, which is much better integrated into global production networks. Even assuming India also begins to integrate into global production chains and expands exports of manufactures, there seems to be opportunity for rapid growth in both countries. Accelerated growth through efficiency improvements in China and India, especially in their high-tech industries, will intensify competition in global markets leading to contraction of the manufacturing sectors in many countries. Improvement in the range and quality of exports from China and India has the potential to create substantial welfare benefits for the world, and for China and India, and to act as a powerful offset to the terms-of-trade losses otherwise associated with rapid export growth. However, without efforts to keep up with China and India, some countries may see further erosion of their export shares and high-tech manufacturing sectors.

The Trans Pacific Partnership, China and India

The Trans Pacific Partnership, China and India PDF Author: Amitendu Palit
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317677900
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 185

Book Description
The United States and 11 other countries from both sides of the Pacific are currently negotiating the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). The agreement is expected to set new benchmark for international trade through its comprehensive coverage of issues and binding regulations. It is expected to eventually mature into a regional trade agreement covering the entire Asia-Pacific. As of now, it does not include China and India, the two largest emerging markets and regional economies. The TPP has generated controversy for its excessive emphasis on trade issues, which have remained unresolved or unaddressed at the WTO due to differences between developed and emerging markets. It has also been criticized for adopting a negotiating style reflecting the US regulatory approach to international trade and also as a geo-political strategy of the US for supporting its strategic rebalancing towards Asia. From both economic and geo-political perspectives, the TPP has various significant implications for China and India that are examined in the book. This book sheds light on how China and India's entries in the TPP are mutually beneficial and how both countries can gain from the TPP by gaining preferential access to large markets and using it as an opportunity for introducing more outward-oriented reforms. The book also cautions that US must reconcile to the rebalancing of economic power within the grouping that will occur following the entries of China and India. Otherwise, the TPP and China and India might walk divergent paths and trade and regional integration in Asia-Pacific may not ever converge. This book will interest anyone who wishes to learn more about the TPP and its future implications and challenges and China and India's roles in global and regional trade.

Category : Africa, North
Languages : en
Pages : 220

Book Description
China and India's spectacular economic rise over the last two decades has accelerated their trade and investment flows with the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), particularly with the oil-producing countries. And while these flows are still small, China and India's presence in the region is on the rise. This report focuses on the following questions: what have been evolution and the impact of MENA's trade and investment relations with China and India? what actions can be taken to maximize the benefits from these relations and to enhance MENA's international integration? The main findings indicate that the region as a whole has benefited from the rise of China and India in terms of better terms of trade, significant increases in oil and gas exports, and cheaper imports. However, producers of industrial goods have been negatively-and in a few cases severely-affected by competition with the two Asian countries in both third and domestic markets. While China and India are investing more in MENA, they are contributing very little to job creation or to the transfer and diffusion of technology. Faster growth in the two Asian countries-and the associated higher demand for energy-will increase revenues from oil and the difficult choices associated with their management. For the labor-abundant, non oil-producing countries, competition with China and India will increase. But the lack of competitive manufacturing industries and services, the insufficient attention given in the past to building technological capabilities and promoting openness and entrepreneurship are constraining their ability to respond to competition. They need to accelerate productivity to tackle unemployment, especially among youth. This may require the broader institutional changes seen in China and India-suggesting the importance of a pragmatic reform agenda that can accelerate productivity, trade, and investment in the region.

China's Rise in Africa

China's Rise in Africa PDF Author: Ian Taylor
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317995333
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 134

Book Description
In seeking to cultivate external relations with African countries, China has long stressed its commonly shared roots with African nations as a developing country rather than a Western state, and as such the symbolic attraction of China clearly reverberates with many African elites who seem to look on China as a positive development model. However, it should be noted that this has not been embraced solely by dictatorial or authoritarian regimes but in fact China’s approach to non-interference has struck a chord even with those democratically elected leaders in Africa. While such practices clearly benefit African elites, it is remains doubtful that they do so for ordinary Africans, although sustained analysis suggests that potential exists, albeit hampered by the modalities of governance on the continent. This book brings together experts on the topic to throw light on some of the more contentious aspects of the relationship. This book was published as a special issue of the Journal of Contemporary African Studies.
