In this episode of Lawyering Peace, Dr. Paul Williams sits down with Ruhee Neog, Director of the Institute of Peace and Conflict Studies in New Delhi, to examine whether today’s geopolitical turbulence reflects a true paradigm shift or a series of overlapping transitions within an evolving global order.

They explore why the world may still be experiencing a strained unipolar moment rather than a fully realized multipolar system, how assumptions about global order can shape policy in real time, and what this means for emerging powers like India. Ruhee unpacks India’s strategy of multi alignment and strategic autonomy, describing how states are diversifying relationships to navigate pressure from competing major powers.

The conversation also turns to nuclear stability, the growing role of misinformation in crisis escalation, and how technological competition, especially in artificial intelligence, is reshaping global power structures. Ruhee introduces the idea of “empathetic realism” as a framework for understanding adversaries and crafting more effective policy in an increasingly fragmented world.
