In the last few years much has changed, with existing global regimes under stress to step up to new realities and new and old powers reassessing the grounds of their relationships. Hence, the big debate of the last few years has been the fate of the normative principles at the heart of the liberal order and the future shape of the institutions built on these. In the Global South, the debate has rested on two contradictions: the pulls of liberal internationalism and the contrary demands of nationalist autonomy and the projection of institutions as global alongside the failure to include the developing world in decision-making bodies. We begin this issue of the India Quarterly with two articles, which place these debates front and centre. While they argue for the attractions of inclusion and filiation, given the weight of global norms and regimes, they also raise questions on inclusion given the perspectives which emerge from domestic ideologies and circumstances.

社论

过去几年发生了很大变化，现有的全球制度面临着应对新现实的压力，新旧大国重新评估其关系的基础。因此，过去几年的大辩论一直是作为自由秩序核心的规范性原则的命运以及建立在这些基础上的制度的未来形态。在全球南方，辩论基于两个矛盾：自由国际主义的吸引力和民族主义自治的相反要求，以及将机构投射为全球性的同时未能将发展中世界纳入决策机构。我们开始本期印度季刊有两篇文章，将这些辩论放在首位和中心。考虑到全球规范和制度的重要性，他们在争论包容和从属关系的吸引力的同时，考虑到国内意识形态和环境中出现的观点，他们也提出了关于包容的问题。
