Main Body

The dynamism of geopolitics is reflected in temporal alliances, and emergence of RUAP, AUKUS, 12+2 reflects the changing alliance of global order. Relevance of new multilateral Agreements 1) contemporary interests necessitate the alliance to tie new partners. eg: India-USA ⇒ derranged democracies to natural allies to contain Chinese threat ⇒ QUAD, pillar det. 2) changing geopolitical realities. Eg: middle East ⇒ coming together of Israel, Saudi, UAE ⇒ [boxed] 2+2.

3Defense diversification and national interest. Eg: AUKUS submarine deal. Losing Relevance of old world order Organizations 1) NAM ⇒ product of cold war ⇒ end of cold war ⇒ little relevance for NAM in geopolitics. 2) G-77 ⇒ G-20 has replaced G-77 due to diverging interests, overlapping conflicts and unequal objectives. 3) Davos ⇒ inclusion of multiple stakeholders but deepening divergence of interests lead to reduced efficiency. Nonetheless, stakeholder involvement through NAM, Davos etc. still provide space for cooperation global governance and conflict resolution.
