This volume discusses the origins and development of India's boundary dispute with China. It examines several important aspects such the areas of dispute, differing schools of thought, treaties, agreements, and conventions, role of the bureaucracy, peace processes together with an analysis of earlier attempts at drawing a boundary line. The author highlights the gaps in the understanding of the boundary problem and how it affected India's negotiation process. The volume is illustrated with maps and contains appendices listing all important treaties and conventions.
