Russia and India in changing global order

Russia’s pursuit of power at the expense of economic reform continues to constrain its potential.

The global order is undergoing a profound transformation marked by power shifts, technological advancements, supply chain disruptions and the fragmentation of traditional alliances. Historically, Russia has been a key global power, but it now faces challenges from economic stagnation, strategic dependencies and a lack of technological innovation. Conversely, India, the world’s largest democracy with the fastest-growing economy and an emerging power in the Indo-Pacific, is balancing its global power aspirations and positioning itself as an independent pole in the multipolar world.
