연합 형성과 중견국 외교: 믹타(MIKTA)의 사례

초록

This study aims to explore the primary nature of changes in global governance and their impact on middle power diplomacy. Simultaneous development of power transition and power diffusion is the defining feature of world politics of the 21st century, facilitating issue linkages and complexity. Whereas power transition and power shift dramatically increase uncertainties in world politics, they also provide middle powers with opportunities to expand the scope of coalition. Based on this premise, I particularly examine MIKTA, mainly in terms of coalition diplomacy. From the perspective of coalition building, MIKTA is distinctive from traditional middle powers, because it is based on diversity and weak ties instead of commonalities and strong ties.
