Power of Bonding and Non-Western Emerging Great Powers Engagement: Comparing China and India’s Soft Power Strategy in Pakistananalyses the soft power strategies of China and India in Pakistan by providing a theoretical background and practical applications. The author provides an outlook to the changing power dynamics in Asia by focusing on the rising powers, China and India, use of cultural and economic tools of soft power by these two rising powers in a pivotal country, Pakistan. Analysis of impact of rising powers in Asia in global politics is common but focus on regional implications of this change with the tools of soft power is not prevalent. This book makes a contribution in this respect.
