Context:

  • The challenges for core universal values enshrined in international law are Securitisation, populism, and protectionism.

The Geo-economic challenge:

  • The post-world war-II scenario: It was a bipolar one with great power competition between a ‘capitalist’ America and a ‘communist’ Soviet Union led to the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the collapse of communism.
