Description

About the Book

The global order is undergoing profound disruption, marked by shifting power balances, weakened multilateral institutions, and the resurgence of economic nationalism and geopolitical contestation. Trump 2.0 & the New World Dis-Order: Implications for India situates itself within this moment of
uncertainty, examining how a renewed Trump presidency and broader systemic transitions are reshaping international politics, economics, and governance.

The book underscores the critical importance of rigorous, policy-oriented research in making sense of these transformations and their consequences for India. By foregrounding interdisciplinary and context-sensitive analysis, this volume highlights how informed inquiry can deepen understanding of emerging global realities and support more strategic, adaptive, and autonomous policymaking.

As the world grapples with fragmentation in trade regimes, security architectures, climate cooperation, and global governance, the book emphasizes the need to move beyond linear assumptions of order and stability. Instead, it engages with the complexities of a “new world dis-order” where uncertainty, asymmetry, and contested norms increasingly define international engagement.

At its core, the book seeks to equip policymakers, researchers, practitioners, and students with analytical frameworks and insights to navigate this evolving landscape. It explores what these global shifts mean for India’s strategic autonomy, developmental priorities, and leadership role in the Global South, while also reflecting on opportunities for coalition-building, innovation, and institutional reform. By bridging global developments with India-centric perspectives, this volume contributes to ongoing debates on how India can respond thoughtfully and proactively to a rapidly changing and uncertain world.
