Will they act and behave like major Western entities, or like something altogether different, hence changing the very nature of international affairs? As the Asian twenty-first century takes shape, how will these dynamics affect the wider geopolitical landscape and the balance of power?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this in-depth study, Chris Ogden evaluates the prospective impact of China and India upon the definition and nature of great power in the contemporary world. Whilst many contend that they will rise in a similar way to current and previous great powers – namely via traditional material, economic, and military measures – Ogden explores the extent to which domestic political and cultural values, as well as historical identities and perceptions, are also central driving forces behind their common status, ambitions, and worldviews.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn so doing, he offers a new and comprehensive analysis of these two countries' past, contemporary, and future global significance, in particular their shared status as the world's first such post-imperial great powers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47455534514412,"sku":"9780745689876","price":40.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/81rK2SO4WZL._SL1500.jpg?v=1774780028","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/china-and-india-by-chris-ogden-9780745689876","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
