China - India Relationship, Enduring Rivalry, conflict resolution, cooperation and interdependenceAbstract
This article reviews the complex relationship between China and India, marked by both historical tensions and increasing economic cooperation. It aims to understand this hostile intimacy, which challenges conventional explanations from classical theories of International Relations. In this regard, an approach to the theory of 'Enduring Rivalries' is proposed as an alternative framework to understand this prolonged and multifaceted relationship. To this end, the study proposes a development focused on three sections: a historical analysis of bilateral relations, a debate on the relevance of 'Enduring Rivalries,' and an exploration of the relationship's impact on Southeast Asia and beyond. Thus, seeking to provide a perspective that contributes to a better understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing both powers at the regional and global levels.
