Abstract
There are three major paradoxes facing world order today. First, the current benevolent world order is a Western-inspired and Western-created world order. Yet, it is the West which has been weakening it and undermining it. Second, even though the West is weakening and undermining the current world order, the West is going against its own long-term interests when it undermines this world order. Third, if the West changes course and decides that it is in its long-term interest to strengthen the current world order, it only has to return to some fundamental Western principles to strengthen the world order. The chapter suggests the importance of making world order more democratic by reforming key United Nations institutions such as the Security Council and the General Assembly.KeywordsWorld orderUnited Nations reformGlobal democracyMultilateralism India
