It endorses Prime Minister Narendra Modi&#8217;s vision of <strong>&#8220;One Earth, One Family, One Future.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Regarding the <strong>Ukraine conflict, <\/strong>the declaration does not explicitly blame Russia. It seeks a resolution to the conflict. This sets the New Delhi Declaration apart from the <strong>Bali Declaration<\/strong> of November 2022, where Russia was condemned for its<strong> aggression in Ukraine. <\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Why should India not be over-optimistic about G-20 outcomes?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>China&#8217;s reception of the Delhi Declaration is mixed. It underscores that the G-20&#8217;s primary purpose is economic cooperation<\/strong>. It is not a platform for addressing <strong>geopolitical and security issues. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>China acknowledges the establishment of the I<strong>ndia-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor Plan.<\/strong> But it cautions against its potential use as a <strong>geopolitical tool. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Some world leaders have not fully embraced the Delhi G-20. The South Korean President cautioned about the current state of global affairs marked by <strong>geopolitical competition<\/strong>, rising inflation, and the ongoing <strong>conflict in Ukraine.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>China remains a <strong>dominant force<\/strong> in Asia, and India is a <strong>prominent target.<\/strong> India&#8217;s growing <strong>economic strength and its membership in the Quad <\/strong>demand careful handling.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How has the nature of the G-20 undergone a transformation in recent years? <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Earlier during the 2008-09 economic crisis, G20 preferred to focus on<strong> global economic issues.<\/strong> It collaborated to prevent a <strong>global economic downturn<\/strong>. Now, it has shifted towards addressing <strong>global political conflicts<\/strong> with less emphasis on the global economic landscape.<\/p>\n<p>A covert struggle is unfolding between two opposing blocs aiming to reshape the <strong>global balance of power<\/strong>. One is led by Western nations and the other by China and Russia,<\/p>\n<p>The world is grappling with an<strong> &#8220;emerging world disorder,&#8221; <\/strong>marked by the resurgence of two <strong>antagonistic blocs.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The stalemate in the Ukraine conflict has prompted the U.S. to bolster and <strong>expand NATO <\/strong>under its leadership. This development raises the prospect of a <strong>U.S.-equipped &#8220;territorial force&#8221; <\/strong>emerging in Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond Europe, several <strong>non-NATO allies<\/strong> are being courted to join the <strong>U.S.-led alliance<\/strong> aimed at <strong>countering &#8220;authoritarianism<\/strong>,&#8221; represented by Russia and China.<\/p>\n<p>Japan and South Korea have already aligned with the <strong>Western alliance<\/strong>, and Australia has become a significant partner in the U.S.-led alliance in the Southern Hemisphere.<\/p>\n<p>Russia and China are deepening their<strong> &#8220;strategic alignment.&#8221; <\/strong>Countries like North Korea are strengthening their ties with this bloc.<\/p>\n<p>China is leveraging its presence in the <strong>Pacific Ocean<\/strong> to openly challenge <strong>U.S. naval dominance<\/strong> in the region.<\/p>\n<p>Russia and Turkey have also strengthened their relationship.

It is becoming challenging for nations to maintain <strong>true non-alignment.<\/strong> Even groupings like BRICS are finding it difficult to sustain their neutral stance.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>proliferation of relationships and the complex web of security agreements<\/strong> have severely restricted the scope for non-alignment.<\/p>\n<p>As rival blocs with <strong>conflicting visions of the international orde<\/strong>r grow stronger, the world faces an uncertain and gloomy future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source&#8211; The post is based on the article \u201cG-20 diplomacy and a shifting world order\u201d published in \u201cThe Hindu\u201d on 26th September 2023.
