The workshop will lead to a set of papers written collaboratively by researchers on these issues. Papers presented at the conference will be considered, with the authors' agreement, for a special journal issue subject to the standard review process. The workshop will also provide opportunities for policy advisors, analysts, and decision makers from China and India to interact and share knowledge and learn from each other's experiences. Through this process of dialogue and discussion a network of research collaborators in China and India will be organized who could continue to collaborate in the future.
