Generally, these topics aren’t much available in the mainstream media, because they are believed hard to crack and don't address the basics. But, through our podcast, we disprove this misconception that these cannot be understood by common people. We explain in simple terms various subtopics under this vast topic in the form of conversational and discussion styles. Everything in the episode is easy to follow and understand.
Guests Siddharth and Deyansh were hosted by Jairam R Prabhu and gave their views and insights on the topic of the day- The Rise of Non-West: Towards A Multi-polar World. After their personal introduction, the panelists gave their opening remarks. Thereafter, they defined what multipolarity is and anti-West are before proceeding to the core discussion. The entire panel agreed that the world is still not multipolar, and we are in a transition state where the decline of the US is evident. But who would rise as the principal challenger to US hegemony was an important topic on which everyone had varied opinions.
The discussion touched upon various topics such as the rise of non-Western countries, the decline of Western countries, and their value systems. The focus was mainly on how China, through its actions and policies, is emerging as the principal alternative. Starting from BRICS, dedollarisation, and opposing Western sanctions, building the BRI initiative, the Asian Development Bank, etc. The discussion ended with raising the credible question of whether China actually has both hard power and soft power, or even the trustworthiness of the majority of the nations.
Before concluding, the panelists spoke in depth regarding the decline of multilateral institutions, notably the UN, the Bretton Woods Institutions, the WTO, etc. Both the panellists promptly answered the questions asked and took the discussion across a wide range of perspectives. Listen to the entire episode for a detailed understanding.
