ABSTRACT

The re-emergence of India on the international stage as an influential power in the twenty-first century has major implications for contemporary global governance issues. Significant changes have taken place in the world since global governance structures were conceptualised and established under the United Nations process in 1945. These changes require global governance policies to be inclusive, representative, transparent and accountable. For India, the stakes in UNSC reforms are high. The most practical approach to conclude UNSC reforms would be to work within a timeframe in order to consolidate a two-third majority UNGA vote in favor of a resolution proposing amendments to the UN Charter. The UN’s 75th anniversary in 2020 is a viable deadline.
