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.
