Our world is at an inflection point. The old and familiar world order is passing but the emerging order is both fluid and uncertain. As China continues to expand its economic and military capabilities and projects a global leadership role, is a China-centric world order an inevitability? Or is it more likely that we shall witness the evolution of a multi-polar order with an altered set of norms and rules of the game anchored in new or modified institutions of global governance? What would be India's preference and its role in shaping a new order?
