It demonstrates how key countries perceived and engaged with the border conflict by aiding the two main participants morally and materially. Before, during, and after the 1962 Sino-Indian border war, multinational political actors pursued their foreign policy goals (e.g., trade, security, and prestige) concerning the frontier, and often tried to destabilize spheres of influence and bolster alliances. Therefore, this contest signified a variation of the Anglo-Russian Great Game in Asia during the nineteenth century, and the theater of operations encompassed not only the border itself, but also the Himalayan kingdoms, Tibet, and Burma. A reevaluation of the border conflict between India and China is necessary given current, ongoing clashes at their still unresolved border as well as the fact that these two countries now possess enhanced technology and weapons.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments \u003cbr\u003eList of Figures \u003cbr\u003eNote on Chinese Romanization and Translations \u003cbr\u003eIntroduction \u003cbr\u003ePart I: The 1962 War \u003cbr\u003eChapter 1 - The 1962 War and Domestic Reactions in China and India \u003cbr\u003eChapter 2 - Immediate International Fallout \u003cbr\u003ePart II: Antebellum \u003cbr\u003eChapter 3 - Chinese Views and Policies Toward the Southern Frontier, 1950-1962 \u003cbr\u003eChapter 4 - Indian Views and Policies Toward the Northern Frontier, 1950-1962 \u003cbr\u003eChapter 5 -Views and Policies of the Anglophone West Toward the Sino-Indian Frontier, 1950-1962 \u003cbr\u003ePart III: Postbellum \u003cbr\u003eChapter 6 - Chinese Post-War Overtures Abroad, 1962-1970 \u003cbr\u003eChapter 7 - India’s “New” Frontier Policies and Foreign Assistance, 1962-1970 \u003cbr\u003eChapter 8 - Western Policies Toward South and Southeast Asia, plus Pakistan’s Response, 1962-1970 \u003cbr\u003eConclusions \u003cbr\u003eSelected Bibliography \u003cbr\u003eIndex","brand":"Amsterdam University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50473167651159,"sku":"9789048559350","price":107.35,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-cold-war-in-the-himalayas-multinational-perspectives-on-the-sino-indian-border-conflict-1950-1970-9789048559350","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
