Description: "An Asian Triangle bringing together Indian, China, and Russia into a strategic partnership attracted public attention when it was first mooted at the end of the nineties.".

"The validity of an Asian Triangle, however, needs to be substantiated: has this geometric figure a life of its own? Can it further the cause of multipolarity, or is it just a tool for its constituents to improve their standing vis-a-vis the United States in a unipolar world?

Exploring historical, geopolitical, economic, and strategic dimensions, the book addresses these multifaceted questions, analyzing the dynamics, expectations, and contradictions inherent to this construct, keeping in mind that the outcome will have a bearing on the future of the world order."--BOOK JACKET.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references.
