UPSC Syllabus Topic: <\/strong>GS Paper 2 International Relations – Important International institutions, agencies and fora- their structure, mandate.<\/p>\n

News:<\/strong> The article discusses the events shaping global geopolitics and the role India can play in evolving a new global consensus.<\/p>\n

Read about India at Davos 2024<\/strong> here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

World leaders had expected an economic order shaped by hyper-globalization – a world where conflicts would become marginal thanks to increased economic interconnectedness, global identities, and where global institutions would effectively mediate inter-state challenges.<\/p>\n

But today\u2019s world is being shaped differently by the forces of geopolitics in various ways.<\/p>\n

What are the events shaping global geopolitics today?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Ukraine war<\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. Israel-Hamas conflict<\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. Threats to sea-lanes<\/strong> that are critical for global trade.<\/li>\n
  4. China challenge<\/strong><\/li>\n
  5. Strategic ties between the West and China<\/strong> are destabilized.<\/li>\n
  6. Pandemic and its aftermath:<\/strong> It has alerted nations to the need for self-reliance in critical sectors and minimal exposure to supply chains overseas.<\/li>\n
  7. Disenchantment with globalisation: <\/strong>Energy prices have gone up, with hopes of a global economic recovery again doubtful.<\/li>\n
  8. Rising Prominence of the Global South: <\/strong>It is the Global South that is likely to drive global growth in the coming years, with India being one of the top performers.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    It is, therefore, imperative for the developing world to have this reality better reflected in the agenda of platforms such as the World Economic Forum.<\/p>\n

    How is India better placed to provide leadership?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    1) India\u2019s Rising Stature: <\/strong>India is in a geopolitical and geo-economic sweet spot. The developed world looking inwards, and China\u2019s aggressiveness has led to a leadership vacuum that needs to be filled.<\/p>\n

    2) Significant Presence at Davos Summit: <\/strong>India\u2019s significant presence at Davos this year underlined India\u2019s willingness to project its growing economic heft, innovation and tech.<\/p>\n

    3) Trust-based Relations: <\/strong>India\u2019s ability to craft trust-based partnerships with multiple players at the same time is a sign of its self-confidence and the trust of others to bet on India at a time of geopolitical turmoil.<\/p>\n

    From climate and energy transitions to the regulation of artificial intelligence, the role of the Global South and nations such as India should be critical. India should evolve a new consensus that could challenge the old Davos Consensus.<\/p>\n

    Question for practice:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    What are the events shaping global geopolitics today? Why is India better placed to provide leadership in such times of geopolitical turmoil?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
