ABOUT THE BOOK
fjrigjwwe9r0pp_Books:Description
This book analyses the competing power politics that
exists between the three major Asian powers – China, India and Japan – on
infrastructural development across the Indo-Pacific. It examines the competing
policies and perspectives of these Asian powers on infrastructure developmental
initiatives and explores the commonalities and contradictions between them that
shape their ideas and interests.
In brief, the volume looks into the strategic
contention that exists between China`s “Belt and Road Initiative” (BRI; earlier
officially known as “One Belt, One Road” – OBOR) and Japan`s “Expanded
Partnership for Quality Infrastructure” (PQI) and initiatives like the
Asia-Africa Growth Corridor (AAGC) that position India`s geostrategic and
geo-economic interests in between these two competing powers and their mammoth
infrastructural initiatives.
