Keywords:
International Political System, world powers, middle powers, regional powers, geopolitics of the States
Abstract
The theory of powers, based to a large extent on the work of Carsten Holbraad Middle Powers in International Politics, has been a reference of International Politics since the 1980s. However, when a detailed revision of the concept is made, authors have found out erroneous empirical interpretations. Why has confusion prevailed so far in the works carried out on this topic? Which are the new theoretical developments about the role played by middle and regional powers in the International Political System of the post-Cold War? This article aims at tracing some theoretic-methodological patterns for the analysis of the structural position of States in the post-Cold War International System and, secondly, at presenting a couple of theoretical models for the study of middle and regional powers.Downloads
