Asian challenge

John Humphrey, Dirk Messner:
Unstable Multipolarity? China's and India's Challenges for Global Governance.
Bonn: German Development Institute 2006

Due to both their size and the enormous pace of growth, China and India constitute a "class of their own", argue Humphrey and Messner in the GDI Briefing Paper. By now, attention is being paid to China. In 15 years time India will be an economic player possibly even with greater scope for global action, because it has a number of important comparative advantages over China. If the Asian drivers of global change are not successfully integrated into a system of multilateralism, the world will face a renewal of conflictual balance-of-power politics.
