Some Thoughts on India, China and Asia-Pacific Regional Security

Author

Abstract

No region has changed as much as Asia in the last three decades, with China and several other powers rising, the return of geopolitics, a shifting balance of power and instability heightening the uncertainty caused by the continuing crisis of the world economy. The key to unlocking a possible Thucydides trap for China and the USA lies in Asia and its security architecture. India and China are both drivers of change and are simultaneously reacting to these shifts. Their behaviour with each other and in the international system has changed in the last decade. India–China relations are causally central to Asia-Pacific security. This article examines how India and China might be successful in adjusting to the challenges that their success has brought them internally, bilaterally, regionally and globally.
