India, China and the Strategic Himalayas (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: Thapliyal, Sangeeta

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book analyses strategic discourse on the Himalayas from the perspective of India's interests. Home to many communities, cultures, natural resources and political boundaries, it is the geopolitical landscape of the Himalayas between India and China that dominates other narratives and discourses.

The traditional notion of Himalayas as India's frontiers and buffer is challenged by China. Despite various mechanisms to address border resolution there are violations and transgressions from China. This book examines India's responses to the new emerging challenges in the Himalayas. How the statist discourse on strategic interests incorporates people's discourse. It provides a nuanced understanding of India's strategic undertakings, diplomatic initiatives and development framework.

This book will be a valuable addition to existing knowledge on the Himalayas between India and China. Scholars and practitioners interested in International Relations, Strategic Studies, Himalayan Studies and South Asian Studies will find it useful.
