These perspectives may  be designated as establishment, left, Dalit, subaltern, anti-modernist,  and spiritual. Each of these perspectives offers a certain  understanding of the state, society, globalization, and international  institutions. These different perspectives, in the absence of any  systematic and concerted \u201cnew thinking\u201d in the literature on  international law and institutions, are germane to understanding the  response of the Indian state and people to issues relating to  globalization, international law, and international institutions. It is  also important to turn to these perspectives because both the  globalization process and the growing role of international law and  institutions have compelled political forces and social thinkers to  engage in discussion on issues such as sovereignty, trade, use of force,  human rights, and the meaning of a just world order in general. Since  these perspectives now address themes central to international law and  institutions, they provide rich critical resources not only to think  through alternative strategies to establish a just world order, but also  to conceptualize its contours and content.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>While five of the six  perspectives are contemporary, the spiritual perspective of Sri  Aurobindo was articulated primarily in the colonial period but has been  included because it was among the first to deal with world-order issues  and the creation of a world state. It has also been discussed to  emphasize the need for ethical practices in any strategy of \u201ccomplex  internationalism\u201d to create a just world order.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This Article outlines six distinct visions of just world order reflected in recent academic and political discourse in India.
