WORLD UPSIDE DOWN Paperback

This insightful book by veteran diplomat Sujan R. Chinoy offers a comprehensive analysis of the rapidly shifting global geopolitical landscape in the 21st century and India's strategic positioning within it. Chinoy examines how the world has transitioned from bipolarity to unipolarity and is now increasingly multipolar, with major powers like the US, China, and the EU, alongside rising players like India, shaping a new global order. He delves into how India is navigating this turbulent environment, marked by fractured power, hedging, and multi-alignment, and how events like the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine have further added to global fragility. The book brings Chinoy's extensive diplomatic and security expertise to bear on the crucial question of how India is recalibrating its strategic thinking to secure a strong pole position and maintain its upward trajectory amidst a world that often seems "untethered and upside down."
