Doctoral thesis

Topic: "China’s contemporary, social, and economic interaction with India in border areas: models and challenges”

Supervisor: Dr. Yerekesheva Laura Gibratovna

Abstract:

China and India, being direct neighbors with the largest populations in the region, started their independent history at almost the same time, in 1949 and 1947 respectively. Both are ancient civilizations with a deep legacy of interaction in trade, historical and cultural exchange and diplomatic contacts. Yet, there are irreconcilable challenges that hamper China-India relations. One of them is border issues, which influence the development of bilateral cooperation.

Ms. Muratbekova’s research is on the study of China-India relations, their interaction in border areas, and the impact of Sino-Indian relations on Central Asia. China is a direct neighbor to the three Central Asian states and India determined the region as an “extended neighbor”. However, little research has been conducted to investigate deep relations between China and India from the Central Asian perspective that analyzes border issues as one of the most important “thorns” in bilateral cooperation and the impact of regional cooperation on Central Asia.
