Authors/Creators

Description

In the coming decades in the process of globalization the position of the USA and Europe will weaken, while the role of developing countries will increase.

The role of the two largest emerging economies – China and India – will be of special significance. What future will these fast-growing giants face?

The demographers agree that pretty soon India will lead the world in population and thus surpass China, while China will encounter serious ageing population problems. But economic and political scenarios of the future are quite different: from resounding success and world leadership to collapse caused by demographic and socio-politic al troubles. Which of them is more feasible?

In the present article I analyze the Chinese and Indian development models separately and comparatively and make a forecast of their perspectives in the 21st century. Such an analysis could be helpful for understanding Russia's ways of development.
