Deep dives
Multilateralism under pressure
Multilateralism is facing challenges as the countries of the so-called Global South recognize the declining power of the United States and the lack of a new world superpower. The existing global institutions like the UN, IMF, and World Bank are seen as gridlocked or tilted towards the West, leading to the question of whether multilateralism is broken. However, global challenges such as climate change, pandemics, and AI require collective action at a global level, necessitating the need for effective multilateralism.
