The book brings together 'new paradigms' for evaluating the comparative performance of two countries. Essays show that if not outright wrong, conventional wisdom has proven to be overly simplified. The book brings out the complexity and richness of the India-China comparison.AsiaPolitics and governmentRegional economicsSpace in economicsSociologyEthnologyAsiaCulturePolitical scienceInternational relationsAsian PoliticsRegional and Spatial EconomicsSociologyAsian CulturePolitical ScienceInternational RelationsAsiaPolitics and government.Regional economics.Space in economics.Sociology.EthnologyCulture.Political science.International relations.Asian Politics.Regional and Spatial Economics.Sociology.Asian Culture.Political Science.International Relations.306/.0951Friedman Edward1937-1792352Gilley Bruce1966-254401MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910968844503321Asia's Giants4330803UNINA
