EXPLORING MULTILATERALISM FOR WORLD PEACE AND SECURITY: CONTRIBUTIONS OF US – INDIA – JAPAN-EU
This online discussion is organised in cooperation with the Global Boston Forum.
The role and relevance of multilateralism has been challenged several times during the last decade. Russia’s aggression in Ukraine has undermined trust in international organisations and international rules and norms at large. International society calls for immediate actions in order to bring the world back on the peace and security track, which was observed and managed by multilateral arrangements. Is there any particular role of multilateral frameworks launched by the world’s leading actors? Is such a framework possible among US-EU-India-Japan? What could a group formed by these countries offer for the benefit of world peace and security?
