> Dear Colleagues,
>
> *Asia Pacific World: The Journal of the International Association for Asia
> Pacific Studies*, is currently looking for someone who would be interested
> in writing a book review on the following book, which looks at issues
> related to the economic growth experience of China and India (a short
> description is provided below).**
>
> Title: Emerging Giants: China and India in the World Economy
>
> Edited by: Barry Eichengreen et al
>
> Publisher: Oxford
> Publication date: June 2010

> *From the publisher's website:*
>
> China and India are the two most populous countries in the world and now
> also two of the fastest growing. By sheer virtue of the fact that China
> and
> India are home to 2.4 billion people--two-fifths of the world's
> population--the rapid growth of their economies has far-reaching
> implications not just for global living standards and poverty reduction
> but
> also for competitiveness and distribution of income in the rest of the
> world. Commensurate with their economic progress, there has been a surge
> of
> interest in the nature and implications of China and India's economic
> growth.
>
> There are several apparent similarities in the development process of
> China
> and India: both are home to ancient civilizations that have bequeathed
> distinctive attitudes, institutions, and traditions. Both have very large
> populations. Both have performed well economically for more than two
> decades. However there are important differences that can be seen beneath
> the surface. China started the current reform process in 1978--that is,
> almost fifteen years before India. The two countries have very different
> political systems. Their development models differ fundamentally as well.
> China has opened up much more than India to foreign trade and foreign
> direct
> investment, while India has a better developed banking system. Growth in
> the
> two countries has been driven by different sectors--Chinese growth by
> manufacturing and Indian growth by services.
>
> This volume brings together some of the best research on issues related to
> the growth experience of China and India and places these issues in a
> comparative perspective. It contains papers written by some of the leading
> academic and experts in the world on issues ranging from the roles of
> China
> and India in the world economy, contrasts in their development experience,
> and challenges to sustaining growth.
