The 21st century has ushered in a transformative era in global geopolitics, marked by an accelerating shift from a unipolar world order to a complex multipolar structure. This book, “Global Geopolitical Power Shifts: The Role of India, Pakistan and China”, is an attempt to provide a scholarly and analytical lens to understand the nuanced dynamics of this trilateral relationship in the context of the evolving global order. India’s strategic positioning in contemporary geopolitics is being redefined by its pursuit of multi-alignment diplomacy - a pragmatic approach that allows it to engage with multiple global powers without binding itself to rigid alliances. Simultaneously, Pakistan’s foreign policy continues to be shaped by its security imperatives, deepening ties with China, and balancing pressures from global powers. China, on the other hand, is actively advancing its global vision of economic dominance, strategic influence, and ideological outreach, challenging the existing liberal international order.The significance of the India-Pakistan-China triangle goes beyond traditional conflict zones and defense alignments. This volume also examines contemporary domains of power competition such as maritime presence in the Indo-Pacific and Bay of Bengal, space race developments, technological collaborations and rivalries, and the growing relevance of regional groupings and economic corridors. These elements are essential to understanding the emerging contours of global power projection and influence. The book aspires to provoke critical thinking about the future of global governance.
