The world today is at a crossroad, caught between the remnants of the old order and the uncertainties of a new one. As great power competition resurfaces on the global stage, the coming years promise to reshape the international landscape. From the ashes of conflict and transformation, a new order will inevitably emerge. But does world order really matter?
In this episode of The Great Power Show, Manoj Kewalramani talks to Shivshankar Menon, former Indian National Security Advisor and one of the world’s leading strategic affairs thinkers, about the churn in the world today.
Menon challenges the conventional wisdom that order-building is a hallmark of great powers. Drawing from historical transitions and contemporary geopolitics, he argues that moments of chaos often drive progress and the rise of great powers.
The episode also focuses on India’s strategic positioning in this evolving environment, analysing the opportunities and challenges it faces in navigating the current period of global turbulence.
Tune in for an engaging dialogue on history, strategy, and the future of global power dynamics.
