Description

Pessimism towards a foreseeable settlement of the India-China border dispute is not unfounded. At the political level, there is a “trust deficit” which impedes cooperation when both parties have sought closer engagement with each other's adversary. Progress on the border issue has also come to almost a complete stop in recent years, despite the existence of multi-tiered mechanisms to facilitate resolution.
