The Great Global Re-Balancing: Beyond the Dollar System (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798188224455)

The global financial order is changing-but not in the way dramatic headlines suggest.

The U.S. dollar remains the world's dominant reserve, funding, and settlement currency. Yet governments, central banks, businesses, and emerging powers are steadily building additional options: gold reserves, local-currency trade, digital payment networks, alternative development institutions, new energy relationships, and strategic transport corridors.

The Great Global Re-balancing explains these changes in clear, accessible language without predicting the sudden collapse of the dollar or the overnight replacement of the United States by another power.

Using the Adaptive Polycentric Framework, Jayesh Rawal connects developments that are often studied separately:

• India's expansion of rupee-based trade settlement
• China's growing renminbi swap and payment network
• The India-Indonesia INR-IDR settlement framework
• Central-bank gold accumulation
• BRICS, the New Development Bank, and AIIB
• CBDCs, mBridge, UPI, and alternative payment systems
• The Belt and Road Initiative, INSTC, IMEC, and CPEC
• Gulf strategic autonomy and the changing energy order
• Critical minerals, sanctions, sovereign debt, and reserve security
• The growing influence of middle powers such as India, Indonesia, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Türkiye, and Brazil

Each chapter uses plain-language explanations, real-world examples, and cause-action-effect analysis to show not only what is happening, but why it is happening and what may follow.

The book concludes with a detailed outlook for the next five to ten years, identifying the indicators readers should watch as the world moves toward a more diversified and interconnected monetary system.

Written for investors, business leaders, policymakers, students, and general readers, this book offers a balanced guide to one of the most important economic and geopolitical transformations of the twenty-first century.

Beyond the dollar system does not mean a world without the dollar. It means a world no longer dependent on the dollar alone.
