Report on the 15th Transatlantic Roundtable held at the C∙A∙P on December 7th and 8th 2006

11.12.2006 · Improving Responsiveness

For the second time in 2006, the Center for Applied Policy Research (C∙A∙P) invited outstanding experts from Europe and the United States to Munich to revisit the "Chindia-Connection" in a roundtable discussion within the framework of the Improving Responsiveness Program.

This 15th Transatlantic Roundtable dealt with China and India in a combined perspective focusing on two important questions: How can the transatlantic powers find their role in the changing international relations due to the rising of China and India, and how to integrate the two emerging powers into the system of international relations. 22 participants contributed in very interesting and stimulating discussions to a successful conference at the C∙A∙P.

Previous debates on the emergence of China and India and its implications for the transatlantic partnership during the 14th Transatlantic Roundtable had shown the great academic interest and political need for a continued and closer strategic look at the two Asian powers.

Accordingly, the debate first revolved around the impact of China's internal problems on its economic and political evolution as well as the limitations for the strategic partnership with India from a transatlantic point of view. The second day highlighted the rise of China and India in a global perspective by dealing with the future challenges of Sino-Indian-relations such as an increase of cooperation versus a possible conflict?) and the pertinent consequences for the United States and Europe. Lastly, answers to the most challenging questions about options and chances of integrating the emerging powers into the international system were discussed from the perspective of transatlantic relations.
