As a rapidly growing economic power, India’s role in global governance has come under considerable scrutiny. In this article we will trace the evolution of India’s engagement with global governance. Simultaneously we will evaluate the complexities of India’s approach to the structural, institutional and regulatory challenges facing the current global order as well as India’s approach to the challenges, constraints and opportunities to shape our regional order.
