In his recent book, The Long Game: How the Chinese Negotiate with India, the author focuses on six case studies of India-China negotiations that span the entire period from 1949 to 2019 and draws certain conclusions about the methods that China adopts and tools that China uses in the negotiation process with India. The book is intended to introduce the topic to ordinary people who are interested in India-China relations and foreign policy issues. Shri Gokhale will be speaking about the broad factors that shaped China's approach to negotiations, the different approaches that India and China took on negotiations and the manner in which the perceptions that each has about the other has shaped the approach to negotiations. The seminar is intended to simplify the understanding of Chinese negotiating strategy and tactics.
