Indian strategic discourse the kept with the trends of China study, and using their viewpoints to support or counter their analyses. But it can be said that the core of Indian strategic thinking has an apprehension of China whether articulated or not, but how much it has translated into actual practices is difficult to say. This point can be judged by the fact that though India\'s military modernization is rapidly taking place, but seeing the continuing long-term desirability of matching China\'s capabilities and strategic orientation, it will not be wrong to say that India\'s China focus has been more academic than practical.

The book attempts to bring out China\'s strategies outlook in Northeast Asia as a strategic co-existance and in South Asia as a strategic convergence. It also brings out China\'s relations with different countries in Northeast and Southeast Asia. In the end it brings out India\'s strategy and relations with countries of the Asia Pacific. It also defines India\'s role in the region." (jacket)
