About the Book

An annual publication from the Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses (IDSA), The China Yearbook 2012 is a round-up of events and issues of significance that occurred in China during the past year and covers important developments in the domestic and foreign policy spheres.

The second of the series, this Yearbook comprises twelve chapters and a chronology of important events through 2012. The first section reviews internal issues including the 18th Party Congress of the Communist Party of China, state-society relations, China’s economic growth, and developments in the military sphere. The second section examines China’s external relations including those with India and countries of South Asia, the United States, East Asia, Central Asia and important foreign policy developments across the globe. The third section explores China’s involvement in regions that may be considered global ‘hot spots’ – the South China Sea, Pakistan Occupied Kashmir and West Asia.

The Yearbook seeks to promote a deeper understanding of contemporary issues affecting China and their impact on India, and will be useful for researchers, scholars and policy makers.
