SP - 113 EP - 128 VL - 47 IS - 2-4 N2 - A speculative analysis of disturbing trends evident now, which will require attention from decision-makers in twenty-five years time, identifies a number of problems with structural implications. Assets for broaching these problems are analyzed leading to an assessment of the requirements for global leadership. A comparison between the situation in 2010 and 2035 demonstrates the necessity for and likelihood of change. Options range from global suicide to a consortium of rising and declining great powers. The outcome will need to reflect forces rising bottom-up in global society. Examples of the strengths and weaknesses of India's contribution are given. © 2010 JNU.
