National Seminar | Emergence of a New World Order: International Law and Politics at the Crossroads | Alliance University (Bengaluru) | Submit by 15th Jan 2026

About the Seminar:

Since the end of the Cold War, the international order has undergone profound transformations. The unipolar dominance of the United States and its allies is gradually giving way to multipolar arrangements in trade, diplomacy, and security.

While globalization advanced through free trade, cooperative maritime laws, and shared commitments against terrorism, recent crises—such as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine (2022) and the ongoing conflict in Gaza—have destabilized trust in international institutions like the United Nations, International Court of Justice, and International Criminal Court.

Emerging economies such as India, Brazil, and South Africa have consolidated ties with Russia and China under the BRICS framework, reflecting a shift away from Western‑dominated unipolarity. India’s rise as the fourth‑largest economy and a leader in South‑South cooperation exemplifies this transformation. Yet, South Asia faces challenges of internal unrest in Sri Lanka, Nepal, and Bangladesh, weakening the relevance of SAARC.

This seminar will provide a critical space for scholars, students, and policymakers to deliberate on these global shifts, examining the declining role of international institutions and the intersections of politics, economics, and diplomacy.
