The twenty-first century international order is undergoing a profound transformation marked by geopolitical realignments, economic uncertainty, technological disruption, climate insecurity, and the emergence of new centres of power. The gradual shift from a unipolar to a multipolar world has fundamentally altered the dynamics of diplomacy, strategic engagement, and international governance. In this evolving global landscape, India has emerged as a significant geopolitical actor whose foreign policy choices increasingly shape regional stability, economic cooperation, and global governance frameworks.<\/p>\n

India\u2019s diplomatic evolution today extends beyond traditional statecraft. Contemporary foreign policy is no longer confined to external relations alone; it directly influences domestic governance, economic development, technological innovation, national security, energy sustainability, digital regulation, migration, and social transformation. The growing interconnection between external strategy and internal policy has created a new vocabulary of diplomacy\u2014an \u201cIndia\u2019s Nexum<\/span>\u201d\u2014where foreign policy operates as an instrument of both global influence and domestic advancement and depicts the connect globally.<\/p>\n

Against this backdrop, the Two Days Multidisciplinary International Conference on \u201cIndia\u2019s Nexum : Emerging Multipolar World Order and Geo strategic Dimensions\u201d<\/span><\/span> seeks to critically examine India\u2019s evolving diplomatic posture and its implications in a rapidly transforming world order. This multidisciplinary conference aims to provide an interdisciplinary platform for scholars, academicians, researchers, policymakers, diplomats, practitioners, and students to engage in meaningful dialogue on the changing and emerging dimensions of India\u2019s foreign policy.<\/p>\n

The conference intends to explore how India\u2019s external engagements increasingly intersect with domestic priorities such as economic growth, digital governance, national security, environmental sustainability, trade, technology regulation, and social development.<\/p>\n

It also seeks to analyse India\u2019s transition from a regional power to a global stakeholder and emerging as a norm-shaper in contemporary international relations by fostering research-driven discussion across disciplines including international relations, law, political science, economics, security studies, technology governance, and public policy, the conference aspires to generate innovative academic perspectives and policy-oriented solutions concerning India\u2019s role in the changing global order.<\/p>\n

Objectives of the Conference<\/p>\n

The two days multidisciplinary conference aims to create a dynamic platform for academic exchange and policy-oriented dialogue on India\u2019s foreign policy and its domestic implications. The key objectives include:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. To critically analyse India\u2019s foreign policy in the context of an evolving multipolar world order.<\/li>\n
  2. To examine the relationship between foreign policy decisions and their domestic political, economic, legal, technological, and social impact.<\/li>\n
  3. To encourage interdisciplinary research on diplomacy, strategic affairs, global governance, trade, cyber security, climate diplomacy, and international law.<\/li>\n
  4. To analyse India\u2019s role in regional and global institutions including the United Nations, G20, BRICS, SCO, QUAD, BIMSTEC, and WTO.<\/li>\n
  5. To explore the impact of emerging technologies, artificial intelligence, cyber warfare, and digital sovereignty on foreign policy formulation.<\/li>\n
  6. To provide a platform for scholars, students, researchers, and practitioners to present research and exchange ideas on contemporary international developments.<\/li>\n
  7. To generate policy-relevant recommendations concerning India\u2019s strategic interests, governance priorities, and global engagements.<\/li>\n

    Rationale and Contemporary Relevance<\/p>\n

    The contemporary international system is characterised by geopolitical competition, strategic realignments, regional conflicts, technological rivalry, economic fragmentation, and increasing uncertainty within global institutions. Issues such as the Russia\u2014Ukraine conflict, Indo-Pacific tensions, climate emergencies, supply-chain disruptions, cyber threats, artificial intelligence governance, and energy insecurity have significantly reshaped international relations.<\/p>\n

    India\u2019s foreign policy today reflects a complex balancing exercise between strategic autonomy and strategic partnerships. India simultaneously engages with competing global powers while safeguarding national interests and expanding its diplomatic influence. The rise of India as a major economic and strategic actor has also increased expectations regarding its role in global governance, peace-building, development diplomacy, climate negotiations, and digital cooperation.<\/p>\n

    At the domestic level, foreign policy decisions increasingly influence economic reforms, energy policy, technology regulation, defence preparedness, data governance, employment generation, trade opportunities, and internal security. India\u2019s Digital Public Infrastructure, international trade partnerships, semiconductor collaborations, defence agreements, and climate commitments demonstrate how global diplomacy directly shapes domestic development trajectories.<\/p>\n

    In this context, understanding the intersection between external diplomacy and internal transformation becomes essential for evaluating India\u2019s evolving role in the changing world order ie. why we are proposing this conference to discuss and deliberate on all the emergent and relevant issues.<\/p>\n

    Identifying Challenges<\/p>\n

    India\u2019s foreign policy currently operates within an increasingly volatile and competitive international environment. Some of the major contemporary challenges include:<\/p>\n
