Summary:  "In the next decade and a half, China and India will become two of the world's indispensable powers--whether they rise peacefully or not. During that time, Asia will surpass the combined strength of North America and Europe in economic might, population size, and military spending. Both India and China will have vetoes over many international decisions, from climate change to global trade, human rights, and business standards. Anja Manuel explores the corridors of power in Delhi and Beijing. How each country's history and politics influences their conduct today, and how each country is working to surmount enormous challenges - from the crushing poverty of Indian slum dwellers and Chinese factory workers, to outrageous corruption scandals, rotting rivers, unbreathable air, and managing their citizens' discontent. We wring our hands about China, Manuel writes, while we underestimate India, which will be the most important country outside the West to shape China's rise. Manuel shows us that we can bring China and India along as partners rather than alienating one or both, and thus extend our own leadership in the world"--Provided by publisher.
