The reason why the US’s prestige is hurt with the withdrawal from Afghanistan is not because of serious questioning of its ability to retaliate effectively when attacked. Rather the reason is that the world now knows that there is a deficit of will in the American establishment and that it will not put boots on the ground or commit substantially to geopolitical entanglements far from home, until and unless its own security is directly and seriously under threat.

As the balance of power shifts from the “Global West” to the “Global South” i.e. from United States to China, the global governance institutions underpinning the international system based on principles of multilateralism, seem to be under severe stress. However, as the era of US dominance gradually recedes, China is not ready to pick up the mantle just yet

Over the last two decades, New Delhi earned tremendous goodwill in Afghanistan by making massive investments in economic development, reconstruction, and humanitarian assistance. However, India’s goodwill rests on the fact that India never put its troops on the ground. Instead, India chose to rely on the continued presence of the U.S. military and intelligence establishment to take care of the overall security situation. Hence, no significant efforts were made to cultivate proxies, establish intelligence networks, or communication channels with the Taliban.

In the post COVID era, the world would certainly not remain the same. Whether, governments will redefine governance to enhance public participation or will a more centralised regime take over? Will we see a reversal in the trend of globalisation or whether this would lead to a rise of authoritarian autarchic governments?

With the emergence of the COVID pandemic, the USA seems likely to pull it’s hands off from its “global police” role and may therefore cause a vacuum. China, in these times, is advancing its foreign policy agenda through this its Mask Diplomacy. On the other hand, India is also on the path of attracting more FDIs (facebook invested in India) and asserting a role of leadership with support from the US. One major contrast between India and China is that China is not appreciating its soft power strategies while India has gained a lot of confidence on that front by sending out HCQ and other medical assistance to many countries like US and even China and Pakistan. The question which the panel brings to the forefront is - will these two global powerhouses power the engine of growth in post-Covid world ?

For any nation, national security is one of its primary agendas and whether they like it or not, the face of national security is changing rapidly around the world. Those who will modernize, will survive. At the frontier of this change are ideas related to artificial intelligence enabled militaries, innovative trade and aid models, and the use of “soft power” through deft diplomatic maneuvering.

A hundred years have passed since the Great War ended with the Armistice that was signed on "the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month" in 1918. Reflections on this centenary can be approached through various perspectives. One can ponder on the undeniable profundity of the event and the fact that how peace is so vital for human sustenance, also how war ends in inevitable human suffering no matter who the victor is.
