Description
The powerful multilateral actors and new economically advanced actors are militarily achieving their geopolitical aims. Be it China’s early takeover of Hong Kong, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, or Israel’s military ambitions in Gaza. Diplomatic channels, peace-making efforts, and humanitarian assistance are failing as countries can get away with their military endeavor. The present multilateral institutions haven’t been able to resolve the conflicts as resolutions adopted at the United Nations have been of no resolve. It is argued that new actors namely representatives from the government, development partners, the private sector, civil society organizations, think tanks, and others need to be incorporated during policy formulation at the Institutional level to strengthen the present multilateral institutions for maintaining international peace. This shift from multilateralism to multipolarity is leading to a multitude of conflicts due to the use of military and hard power rather than diplomatic channels to achieve geopolitical aims and where multilateralism is becoming obsolete.
