Drawing on a vast array of literature on international rivalries, this comprehensive and theoretically grounded work delves into the origins and evolution of the Sino-Indian rivalry. Contrary to prevailing notions, the authors contend that the Sino-Indian rivalry emerged almost immediately upon the emergence of these two countries in the global arena. Through meticulous analysis, they elucidate how this rivalry holds systemic implications for both Asia and the broader global order, intricately intertwining the positional and spatial dimensions that define the Sino-Indian relationship. By tracing the trajectory of this rivalry from the late 1940s to the present day, the essays in this collection underscore its profound significance in global politics. Moreover, they highlight the potential for escalated conflict due to the asymmetries between India and China, emphasizing the need for careful management and resolution of these tensions to ensure regional stability and peace.
