In an polarized competition for global dominance, 🇮🇳's positioning on various issues will become more important. This is why 🇮🇳's refusal to condemn 🇷🇺's war in 🇺🇦 does not appear to be to its detriment. By not antagonizing 🇷🇺, 🇮🇳 is trying to prevent closer 🇷🇺-🇨🇳-🇵🇰 ties.

🇮🇳 at SCO summit. What to watch out for. By Suhasini Haidar thehindu.com/opinion/lead/f…

It was a pleasure to speak Asia Society Switzerland STATE OF ASIA Conference in Zürich. I argued that a peaceful, stable and fair "rules-based order" has never existed. Therefore, it cannot be preserved. It has yet to be built.

8 minutes on why the narrative of the "rules-based order" is much more about the preservation of political power than about stability. (Idealization of the past; different orders and different challengers; problems with the rules themselves.) youtube.com/watch?v=eX04Nt…

My colleague Boas Lieberherr with an excellent take on that "rules-based order" everyone is talking about, Asia Society Switzerland. An order that never really existed, he argues. So the emphasis should not be on defending but on building it.

This was both thoughtful and thought-provoking. Well done!

Welche Regeln für die regelbasierte Ordnung? Darüber herrscht Uneinigkeit, wie die Auffassungen der 🇺🇸🇦🇺🇩🇪 und 🇮🇳 zeigen. Ein besseres Verständnis von Unterschieden und Gemeinsamkeiten könnte eine fundiertere Debatte über die zentralen Aspekte einer künftigen Ordnung ermöglichen.
