About The Book

Amid the brouhaha of globalization, this book is an ideal attempt to reflect on the nature of policies and qualities of glocalization (globalization with local touch). As known, India’s relationship with China took a heavy toll due to a war in 1962, and the repercussions are still seen in some form. Never in the history of both these powerful giants, there has been any major conflict except the daunting episode of the year 1962. On the contrary, both the economies in Asia are utterly obsessed to enrich their growth and development prospects. The region of North-East India has been historically a silk route for trade and cultural exchanges with China and other regions of the world. Conventionally, it holds a lot of opportunities for India and China to mutually defuse their geopolitical tensions and grimly introspect on the border trade policies of North-East India and the Tibetan region. This book, in its unique form, is a proven work with relevant data, facts, and suggestions to boost the trade policies and future ahead, in a liberal way.
