2025: A New World Order?

Recent political developments seriously challenge the Rules-Based International Order that has for long ordered global dynamics. Decisions and actions by China, India, Russia & Turkey indicate definite changes in any assumed balance of power. The Israel-Palestine war, the ousting of Assad in Syria and Hasina in Bangladesh (along with a strident anti-India sentiment), and the election of a Left-of-Centre President in Sri Lanka are equally important. Also, a new US President, the increasing popularity/success of Right-wing politics in France, Germany, Italy & elsewhere in Europe -- what will 2025 be like for South Asia's regional, and global, politics?
