New book: 'Dancing with Giants: China, India and the global economy'

A draft volume of the new World Bank report Dancing with Giants: China, India and the global economy has been posted online:

Drawing upon the latest research, this volume analyzes the influences on the rapid future development of these two countries and examines how their growth is likely to impinge upon other countries. It considers international trade, industrialization, foreign investment and capital flows, and the implications of their broadening environmental footprints. It also discusses how the two countries have tackled poverty, inequality and governance issues and whether progress in these areas will be a key to rapid and stable growth.

The background papers are also available. It's an impressive collection:
