> A dozen years into the new millennium, what does it mean to be a
> cosmopolitan? As noted by philosopher Kwame Anthony Appiah, the term can
> be traced to the Cynics in fourth century BC who coined the term to simply
> mean "a citizen of the cosmos." In the eighteenth century, Western
> Enlightenment thinkers reimagined the ideal cosmopolitan to be a
> citizen-subject of the world with a shared moral responsibility to a
> greater humanity. In its latest economic iteration, a cosmopolitan
> suggests a savvy citizen-consumer with the social capital to traverse
> through different cultural terrains. And in the work of James Ferguson,
> cosmopolitanism is a "style" of cultural practices that distances the
> practitioner from the "local" and the attending claims and expectations in
> an attempt to seek "worldliness at home."
>
> Moreover, it is a "style" performed with intention and significantly
> shaped by the shifting context of micropolitical economic forces. In this
> panel, we are focusing on how cosmopolitanism as a "cultural style"
> becomes a touchstone for emerging class and cultural identities, as well
> as a register of social fragmentation in China and India. As capitalism in
> its heterogeneous forms enfolds more societies into worlds of consumption
> and market rationality, China and India are not only the most prominent
> sources of labor for the global economy; their emergent middle classes are
> viewed as the largest and most promising consumer markets in the new
> millennium. The affinities and divergences in the development trajectories
> of China and India offer a critical comparative opportunity for the study
> of urban-rural divisions, class formation, citizenship rights, and
> cultural production. We seek papers that examine the grounded, translocal
> practices of Chinese and Indians espousing cosmopolitan values,
> sensibilities, motives, and aspirations as acts of self-fashioning or
> collective identification, and belonging or refusal of belonging. Our
> inquiry approaches cosmopolitans and cosmopolitanisms not as fully
> determined identities or distinctive sets of practices traceable to a
> specific point of origin, but as open-ended identifications and a range of
> social action continually in flux in a complex social field of
> signification.
>
> Papers can address but need not be limited to the following topics:
>
> * Class relations, social responsibility, and philanthropy
> * Urban and rural spaces, politics of access or exclusion,
> revitalization campaigns
> * Labor practices, professionalization, "multicultural" work

> * "Global" education, cultivation of innovation and talent, and
> creative industries
> * Migration, leisure, and tourism
> * Consumerism, status goods, fashion and ornamentation

> India's bilateral relations with China as such has remained volatile and
> ridden with friction and tension. Notwithstanding the bor­der dispute
> which led to a full- scale war in 1962 and armed skir­mishes in 1967
> and 1987,several rounds of talks that have been held over more than a

> Of late China's increasing assertiveness, by way of increased
> incur­sions in Arunachal Pradesh by the People's Liberation Army (PLA)
> since 2005, has led to a rapid meltdown in the Sino- Indian border talks,
> despite public display of amity. It is felt as if the Chinese believe
> that a border settlement, without major Indian territorial concessions,
> has the risk of augmenting India's relative power position in the
> neighbourhood and in the global diplomacy and thus can impact negatively
> on China's rise and influence.
>
> The prospects of a negotiated settlement in the near future though appear
> to be remote yet remains the only viable alternative though with the
> unsettled border problem China unduly enjoys the strategic leverage to
> keep India guessing about its in­tentions and nervous about its future
> actions and capabilities while it also exposes India's vulnerabilities and
> weaknesses and thus ensures India's friendly disposure on issues of vital
> concern to China.
>
> It is also widely felt that even after the territorial dispute has been
> resolved, China and India would still be in a competitive relationship
> with each other as caught in the Dragon's triangle. Besides the
> territorial dispute, the nature of China's relationship with India's
> neighbours in South Asia and provision of liberal military assistance to
> them, the remnants of Cold War alignments (Beijing-Islamabad-Washington
> versus the Moscow– New Delhi axis); continuing disturbances over the
> question of Tibet and Kashmir; China's involvement in its immediate
> neighbourhood, what India naturally regards as its zone of influence;
> Beijing's continuous interest for establishing its naval presence in the
> Indian Ocean; competition over scarce resources including sharing of
> waters of Brahmaputra River ; power asymmetry and the never ending quest
> for a supremacy of the leadership over each other in several developing
> world and multilateral forums; and, more recently, suspicion over China's
> secret assistance to Pakistan for nuclear weapons , have exacerbated the
> already fractious and uneasy relationship that existed between the two so
> far.
>
> With Beijing treating South and Southeast Asia as its spheres of influence
> , adopting a balance- of-power approach in interstate relations and India
> as its main obstacle to achieving its strategic objective of regional
> supremacy in Asia threatens the regional peace and security scenario and
> poses great danger to the states in the vicinity.
>
> With India treating the Sino- Pakistani nexus, in particular, as hostile
> and threaten­ing in nature, the "strategic space" in which India
> traditionally was active having become increas­ingly constricted due to
> Chinese penetration as evident from Beijing's forays into Myanmar (Burma)
> and the Bay of Bengal in the 1990s now presents the spectre of the so
> called global power rivalry which may flare up to large scale military
> tensions in the region and also will endanger the world peace and
> security.
>
> In the light of this when it is being felt that there is a great need to
> expand, deepen and diversify the Strategic and Cooperative Partnership
> between these two powers with the wide acknowledgement that the
> India-China relations has to move beyond the socalled bilateral aspect
> and onto the global dimension,it is important to analyse this emerging
> security scenario and examine the adversarial nature of the Sino- Indian
> rela­tionship and for laying down strategic grounds so as to help these
> two regional powers to conduct smooth negotiations to settle their
> differences and mistrust and to harness their joint energies for a
> sustainable development and peace in the region by acceleration of trade
> and investment and promotion of increased people- to-people contact.
