“…South Africa tops the list to such a degree that it might almost qualify as a new exemplar (see, e.g., Vale 1997; Van Der Westhuizen 1998; Flemes 2007; Lechini 2007; Jordaan 2008), with Japan close on its heels (see, e.g., Cox 1989; Lam 2006; Yoshihide 2008; Harris 2008). Other examples include Argentina (Wood 1990; Belanger and Mace 1997), Brazil (Wood 1990; Flemes 2007; Lechini 2007), Germany (Otte 2000), India (Flemes 2007; Lechini 2007), Indonesia (Ping 2005), Iran (Ehteshami and Hinnesbusch 1997; Samhat 2000), Malaysia (Nossal and Stubbs 1997; Ping 2005), Mexico (Wood 1990; Belanger and Mace 1997; Goad 2000), Poland (Goad 2000), Singapore (Tan 1999), South Korea (Rozman 2007; Kim 2008), Syria (Ehteshami and Hinnesbusch 1997); and Turkey (Myftyler and Yyksel 1997).…”

This article explores the prominent role that so‐called middle powers have played in constructing the Proliferation Security Initiative (PSI) as an innovative framework for multinational cooperation, in this case designed to counter trafficking related to weapons of mass destruction proliferation. It seeks thereby to contribute to a better theoretical understanding of the international role and foreign policy behavior of this class of state actor. Because the preponderance of middle power scholarship is either broadly conceptual or focuses narrowly on national‐level case studies, an examination of middle power involvement in a particular global initiative represents a potentially important theory‐building contribution. Drawing on a critical review of the literature on middle powers, and an explication of PSI through the analytic prism of middle power participation, the study proposes that PSI affords novel insights about—and plausibly a template auguring new opportunities for—middle power activism, collaboration, and influence in global security affairs.

There is plenty of studies focusing on China’s global outreach through its Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). In tandem with this, the extensive literature on China depicts it as the next hegemon to succeed in the USA. Along this line, flourishing ties with various Asian nations, including the Middle Eastern countries, as a result of China’s recent foreign policy activism has been addressed extensively. While most research has been stressing the rising assertiveness of China in world politics, only a limited number of studies have touched upon the responses from middle or small powers against China’s ascent. Drawing from neoclassical realism, this article contends two levels of analysis for delineating the interaction between Turkey, a middle power, and China, a rising great power. First, the exchange between Turkey and the USA is vital in determining the cordial relations between Turkey and China. Alteration in the American policy vis-à-vis Turkey in the wake of the Arab Spring is relevant to Turkey’s growing relations with China. Second, is the rising anti-Westernism of foreign policy elites as part of the alteration in the strategic culture of Turkish politics, which makes Turkey’s rapprochement with China possible. Nevertheless, it should be noted that these two levels are intertwined and feed each other. Consequently, employing a neoclassical realist approach, the article argues that the middle powers’ stance against a rising hegemon is conditional upon the bilateral relations with the current hegemon and peculiarities of domestic politics.
