US-China-Russia-India-Japan Alliance: A Pragmatic Format for Global Governance

The "Core 5" (C5) proposal aims to reform global governance by establishing a pragmatic format for managing the global systemic transition. The C5 would comprise the US, China, Russia, India, and Japan, who would regularly meet to discuss issues of global significance. The EU would be excluded, as the US perceives it as an ideologically driven organization. The C5 would address issues such as Middle East security, economic, financial, and geopolitical matters, with the goal of facilitating tangible progress and reducing the chances of uncontrollable systemic instability.
