Summary/Abstract |
The prevailing global order, based on the centrality of sovereign nation-states, was laid down during the peace of Westphalia in 1648. It has never been static and has witnessed many structural changes. The balance of power maintained by five-six European powers over two century gave way to bipolar structure following the World War II.

Summary/Abstract |
International political order has always been in flux. This has been the history of international relations since the dawn of colonialism and its eclipse. Colonialism was demarcated by the absolute ruthlessness of the colonisers towards the colonised. Colonialism impacted many countries leaving them dealing with issues that still smoulder. The wars of the last century revealed the use of the colonised as cannon fodder for conflicts that were essentially, between colonisers.

Summary/Abstract |
Earlier, after the Second World War there were two super powers, United States and USSR, and the countries were divided into West Block or the East Block. Some countries wanted to remain as non-aligned. The global political order depended on which side that particular country wanted to lean. After the disintegration of USSR, the political order started changing. Russia started losing its domination and the vacuum thus created was being filled up by United States and other developed countries.

Summary/Abstract |
A stable political order is a rare thing. When one power arises, it tends to come after a great upheaval that creates both the conditions and the desire for something new. It requires a stable distribution of power and broad acceptance of the rules that govern the conduct of international relations.

Summary/Abstract |
There have been some prominent shifts in the world occurred in the recent past which are leading towards gradual unfolding of a new world order in the coming future. In fact, the election of Donald Trump as the 45th President of the US is being regarded as the watershed in the prevailing international order which indeed closed the era of moderate American diplomacy and interactions with the external world and instead led to emerge an aggressive bold championing of several global concerns like protection of human rights, democracy, environment, nuclear proliferation and trade imbalances etc. and that became visible in the US’ dealings with North Korea and China and even Russia too.

Summary/Abstract |
India as an independent nation-state from mid-20th century created a niche for itself in international order by opting for an independent strategic foreign policy course known as nonalignment. With the end of Cold War the strategic position was replaced by a bourgeoning economy and India’s prominence was calculated on index of economic growth and prospect for an economic market.

Summary/Abstract |
Continuity and change is the core of alterations in international politics. Political systems have specific models to accommodate change . Authoritarian systems with a homogenous demography can adopt to change faster than democratic states with multi ethnic demography, multiple layers of social hierarchy and multi party systems. Technological innovations have facilitated change but political systems have adopted measures to suit their interest. Therefore ,decision making processes remain less altered compared to technological change. Economic interests have dominated at all levels of decision making local as well as global .

Summary/Abstract |
The current international order has been marked by two trends essentially. The first is the resurgent right wing nationalism, ultra-nationalist populisms in countries like Russia, India, Turkey, Hungary, Egypt, Philippines, and now in the United States and in most of the cases leading to authoritarian rule. The Brexit vote and the rise of right wing parties in Europe also point to a similar trend in the global politics and the contemporary international order.

Summary/Abstract |
The global order has not been a static phenomenon. In the tune of the laws of the nature it is too changing. From the Western-centric order it has entered a different phase having its manifestations in new political and economic structures. Morton Kaplan’s envisioning of six models of international system might have been based on that assumption. From a ‘Balance of Power’ system it changed to a ‘loose bi-polar system’ and now it appears to have been leading to a kind of not exactly but short of a ‘Unit Veto System’ where no state would venture to attack another as the states then will have equal potentialities to destroy each other.
