Sharing with you Episode 123 of the Indian Diplomacy TV show, which was just aired on India’s national broadcaster Doordarshan. It is hosted by Dr. Sreeram Chaulia, the Dean of JSIA and Director General of JII, and features an in-depth discussion with Ambassador Ruchira Kamboj, the former Indian Permanent Representative to the United Nations. The show covers the following themes:

• Why are we witnessing decline and dysfunction in universal multilateral institutions like the United Nations and the World Trade Organisation?
• How are India and other rising and middle powers furthering multilateralism in spite of geopolitical divisions and conflicts?
• How salient is multilateralism for India’s foreign policy and grand strategy?
• Why is small group diplomacy in the form of ‘plurilateralism’ and ‘minilateralism’ thriving and will it replace large group multilateralism?
