What challenges do multilateral institutions face today?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Multilateral institutions are struggling due to rising geopolitical tensions and declining trust.<\/strong> Donald Trump’s re-election has further weakened their relevance<\/strong>. For example, Trump\u2019s \u201cAmerica First\u201d policy prioritized unilateralism, withdrawing the US from key agreements like the Paris Climate Accord and WHO.<\/p>\n

How Does Trump’s Presidency Impact Global Agreements?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Withdrawal from Multilateral Agreements<\/strong>: Trump withdrew the US from key agreements like the Paris Agreement on climate change, the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), UNESCO, WHO, and the UN Human Rights Council during his first term (2017-2021).<\/li>\n
  2. Impact on Climate Cooperation<\/strong>: He plans to leave the Paris Agreement again and remove restrictions on energy production, prioritizing hydrocarbon development. This undermines global climate efforts and could inspire other nations to reduce commitments.<\/li>\n
  3. Weakened Trade Frameworks<\/strong>: Trump\u2019s administration weakened the World Trade Organization (WTO) and intensified the US-China trade war with proposed 60% tariffs on Chinese imports. This challenges global trade norms.<\/li>\n
  4. Strain on Economic Forums<\/strong>: Forums like APEC and G20 face heightened tensions. For example, Trump’s earlier withdrawal from TPP disrupted economic integration across the Asia-Pacific region.<\/li>\n
  5. Focus on National Interests<\/strong>: Trump\u2019s \u201cAmerica First\u201d policy prioritizes national over global interests<\/strong>, reducing US leadership in global governance and creating a crisis in multilateralism.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    How is India adapting to the decline of multilateralism?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
      \n
    1. Bilateral Trade Agreements<\/strong>: India is focusing on new bilateral trade deals to strengthen its economic ties, reducing dependence on multilateral trade systems.<\/li>\n
    2. Minilateral Groups<\/strong>: India is actively participating in smaller coalitions like: The Quad<\/strong> (focusing on regional security and technology), Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence<\/strong> (for AI innovation), Mineral Security Partnership<\/strong> (ensuring resource security), Artemis Accords<\/strong> (collaboration in space exploration).<\/li>\n
    3. National Energy Solutions<\/strong>: India has invested significantly in renewable energy to address climate challenges independently, as global cooperation weakens.<\/li>\n
    4. Technology Leadership<\/strong>: India is working with like-minded countries to develop new technologies and establish global norms for their use.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
