- Abstract
- Set amidst growing global challenges and great power politics, this article asks how
middle powers might best promote global collective action. Adopting a historical
approach, it explores four case studies on middle power multilateralism in (1)
post-1974 UN New International Economic Order; (2) post-1989 Bretton Woods
institutions; (3) post-1992 European Union expansion; and (4) post-2003 UN South-
South cooperation. These inform a policy framework and an ensuing alternative
termed resilient multilateralism. Adopting a foreign policy standpoint, this
alternative entails principles on context specificity, complementarity, consensus
building, and non-confrontation. By opening space for global action, it offers a
timely approach to countering future shocks and coordination failures—whether
wrought through nature or through hands of our own.
