China’s Relations with South Asia

India and China—the two most populous countries, with one being more democratic and the other firmly authoritarian—have a history of problematical relations. At the same time, China has been engaged in development-oriented work (through the BRI) with many of the other countries in South Asia, complicating regional political dynamics. Much of the academic literature on China-South Asia relations is produced in the Global North. This doesn't mean, however, that academics in the region are uninterested in studying their own international relations. In this workshop we focus on highlighting academic and policy-oriented work produced by academics from the region. The objective of the event is to foster dialogue between academics and policy-oriented scholars with the idea that, at some point in the future, they might start to work and publish together.
