Can the two Asian giants reach a political settlement?

---

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to outline the history of the Sino-Indian conflict and to
evaluate recent changes as reflected in the high level meetings between President Xi Jinping and
Prime Minister Narendra Modi. It explores the evolving relationship in terms of three types of
bargaining: elusive, tacit and convergent.

Design/methodology/approach – By adopting a historical approach one gets a better sense of the
evolving pattern of relations between China and India and the circumstances in which the evolution
is occurring.

Findings – China-India relations are similar to a journey where the progress is measured in terms of
small steps rather than a final peace settlement. Relations have changed slowly towards a positive
direction in economic relations, and there is a pattern of stability in border talks but the issue is
complicated by the linkages between the Tibet question and border issues.

Research limitations/implications – This topic requires considerable research because it is
important for the future of Asian international relations and it is under-researched. Perhaps there could
be an edited volume which brings together researchers from different backgrounds and expertise.
The suggested work must be empirical but with a theoretical framework related to different types of
bargaining cultures and experiences in Asia.

Originality/value – As China and India evolve in their diplomatic practices and thinking, as Asian
powers are readjusting their policies in the light of new circumstances, there are insights for policy
analysts and practitioners in China and India among other Asian countries.

Keywords: China, India, Peaceful settlement, Sino-Indian conflict, Sino-Indian relations
