Fighting to Balance – China and the Purpose of India-US Partnership

Recent events underscore the significance of China’s rise, prompting a critical juncture in India-China relations. As China asserts itself aggressively, especially in South Asia, India must acknowledge this geopolitical reality and devise a strategic approach to balance China. This special issue offers policy recommendations for India’s next decade.

Recent events have brought home the realisation that China’s rise is bound to have serious implications for India and other smaller states in the region. It is now clear that India-China relations may be at an inflection point. An increasingly aggressive China is pushing at its peripheries to announce its arrival at the global stage. While this has been happening for quite some time in the South China Sea, India is its most recent victim in South Asia. It is therefore necessary that India recognises this geopolitical reality and puts together a coherent strategy to balance China. To this end, this special issue consists of articles that make policy prescriptions for India for the next decade.
