{"product_id":"shadow-states-brnice-guyot-rchard-9781316627242","title":"Shadow States: India, China and the Himalayas, 1910-1962","description":"Since the mid-twentieth century China and India have entertained a difficult relationship, erupting into open war in 1962. Shadow States is the first book to unpack Sino-Indian tensions from the angle of competitive state-building - through a study of their simultaneous attempts to win the approval and support of the Himalayan people. When China and India tried to expand into the Himalayas in the twentieth century, their lack of strong ties to the region and the absence of an easily enforceable border made their proximity threatening - observing China and India's state-making efforts, local inhabitants were in a position to compare and potentially choose between them. Using rich and original archival research, B r nice Guyot-R chard shows how India and China became each other's 'shadow states'. Understanding these recent, competing processes of state formation in the Himalayas is fundamental to understanding the roots of tensions in Sino-Indian relations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e B駻駭ice Guyot-R馗hard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1316627241\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781316627242\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/08\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 347\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.03lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.72d","brand":"B駻駭ice Guyot-R馗hard","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43924839203071,"sku":"9781316627242","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_9d8e7aa0-5451-48fd-bc2c-709d33a0c00b.jpg?v=1681073773","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/shadow-states-brnice-guyot-rchard-9781316627242","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
