Product Description
Military Strategy of Middle Powers explores to what degree twenty-first-century middle powers adjust their military strategies due to changes in the international order such as the decline in US power. The overarching objective of the book is to explain continuity and change in the strategies of a group of middle powers during the twenty-first century. These strategies are described compared and explained through the lens of Realism. In order to find potential explanations for change or continuity within the cases as well as for similarities and differences between the cases the strategies of 11 ‘middle’ powers are analysed (Canada Germany Italy Spain Australia Brazil Indonesia South Africa India Japan and South Korea). This group of countries are considered similar in several important aspects primarily regarding relative power capacity. When searching for potential explanations for different strategic behaviours among the middle powers their unique regional characteristics are a key focus and consequently the impact of the structure and polarity as well as the patterns of amity and enmity of the regional context are analysed. The empirical investigation is focused on security strategies used since the terrorist attacks 9/11 2001 which was one of the first major challenges to US hegemony. This book will be of much interest to students of military and strategic studies foreign policy and International Relations in general. | Military Strategy of Middle Powers Competing for Security Influence and Status in the 21st Century
