    Oct 5 2025

    Greetings to all listeners and readers!!

    For decades, precisely 75 years, the United States led the world, shaping politics, economy, and culture. This aspect is changing. The rise of non-Western countries- China, Russia, India, Indonesia, Iran, Turkey, Brazil has led to a decline in the generally understood Western-led Liberal/Rules-Based Order. With contemporary issues like protectionism, the rise of illiberal democracies, alternative politics, the Ukraine War, Gaza, and much more, we are experiencing a new type of geopolitics, like we have never seen before. This episode, hence, comprehensively tries to cover various subthemes under the road to multipolarity.
