Abstract
This book is about the comparative performance of India and China, an issue that greatly influences government policy all over the developing world. Specialists writing for this book build on new subnational and sectoral literatures and offer informed judgments on future trajectories for China and India. These diverse authors take a host of different approaches to judging how well Asia’s giants, China and India are doing today and what ongoing dynamics portend for the future. The reader will be provided with a variety of entrees to a vexing and vital question, comparing India and China. This then is an invitation to enter an important and open dialogue.
