Author(s): Naresh Kumar Behera and Parsuram Sahoo
Abstract: Global governance has significant value in shaping the international order, maintaining cooperation among states and managing global concerns through collective decision-making. The G20, as an intergovernmental organization, marks its importance in the global governance architecture. India assumed the presidency of the G20 when global governance was running into severe instabilities. India's G20 presidency adopted the light of the “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam” (VK), or ‘One Earth, One Family, One Future’ vision, which defines "the world as a mother, and all the nations are like a family". This paper aims to analyse the impact of India's G20 presidency on the global governance system. This study adopts a qualitative and analytical approach to examine India's G20 presidency and its role in shaping global governance under the guiding philosophy of VK. The study finds that the G20 presidency of India has played an important role in shaping tenets of global governance.
