Summary/Abstract

There is an undeniable power surge in Asia, primarily in India and China. Speculation about a strategic joining of forces of India and China into a muscular economic alliance known as "Chindia" has been floated. Despite once being bitter enemies, the two nations have engaged in a recent détente with each other. Building upon each other's strengths helps advance this cause. However, until now the Chindia concept has appeared to be more theoretical than practical in nature because of lingering boundary issues between the nations. Such an alliance, however, cannot be summarily dismissed. This paper focuses upon how India and China partnering with the United States could form a transregional triangle that would tighten America's grip on power in the Asia-Pacific Region.

Summary/Abstract

The notions of just war (jus-in-bello1) and just peace (jus-in-pace2), with himsa (the use of force) and ahimsa (nonviolence) are not new. They were conceptualized in Eastern Philosophy in early Hindu texts like the Vedas3 and the Bhagavad Gita.4 The theoretical concept of himsa and the Gandhian principle of ahimsa has been actualized in modern India. Both streams of thinking are useful strategic options, alone and/or in tandem. As India emerges as a valuable player in the global balance of power in the Middle East and Asia, it is important to the United States as the global superpower to fully recognize India's strengths and potential as a regional ally in just war and just peace. Both countries have more similarities than differences and their collaborative action can lead to a more democratic and peaceful world society
