In this episode of Interpreting India, Dinakar Peri speaks with Vince Cable, former member of Parliament and leader of the Liberal Democrats, and author of Eclipsing the West: China, India and the Forging of a New World, on where the global order is headed, what India’s rise means for the rest of the world, and what trusted partnerships look like in an era of technological competition.This episode explores:• Cable’s book presents three possible scenarios for the global order—an expanded West (incorporating rising powers like India), rival spheres of influence, or reformed multilateralism. As the West’s share of the global economy shrinks, which of these three scenarios is most plausible?• In a world dominated by U.S. and China technologically, how does a country like India navigate the choice of who to work with?• What does trust mean in an era of technological competition, and what would trusted partnerships actually look like?• What is India’s growth outlook, and what would it take for India to dominate the next generation of global economic shifts?
