Liberal International Order

In this podcast, Kushal speaks with Dhruva Jaishankar about the foundations and ethics of foreign policy. The podcast starts with international relations from ancient times to now. Dhruva explains international orders at different times via his hypothesis that the first “liberal international order” was in India, under Ashoka. They then talk about the U.S.-led liberal international order and why that is not the same as the UN. What are India’s problems and opportunities with the U.S.-led liberal international order? What next? What does a multipolar order mean, and how might it benefit India?
