🔆 Rise of the New Peacemakers
📍 Key Idea:
As Western dominance weakens and the UN’s influence declines, Middle Eastern powers — notably Turkey, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE, and China — are emerging as key mediators in global conflicts.
This shift marks a new language of power, where mediation serves both diplomatic and strategic goals.
Turkey leverages its NATO ties and Eurasian influence; Qatar perfects “small-state mediation” to balance rivals; Saudi Arabia and UAE use mediation to boost global stature; and China employs it to reinforce its Global South leadership and challenge Western order.
India, with its long peace-making tradition from Sri Lanka to Maldives, is urged to reclaim space through proactive regional diplomacy, shaping peace on its own terms rather than reacting to others.
📍 Mains Question:
➡️ Examine how mediation has evolved as a tool of diplomacy and power projection in the emerging multipolar world.
