One-third of humanity is governed by two capitals, New Delhi and Beijing. Both countries recently elevated strong national leaders with the know-how to govern not from the top down, but rather from the inside out. Anticipating these trends and leadership transitions, William Antholis spent five months in 2012 traversing India and China. Inside Out India and China features detailed narratives showing that local successesand failureswill determine the future of the worlds two largest nations.
