Abstract
Richard Rosencrance has stated that ‘history is a laboratory in which our generalizations about international politics can be tested.’1 This chapter discusses the generalizations about middle power influence in international politics in three contending perspectives: classical realism, hegemonic stability theory and middle power approaches. Classical realism sees middle power influence in balances of power in multilateral structures. Hegemonic stability theory anticipates significant middle power influence in hegemonic structures, and especially during periods of hegemonic decline. Middle power approaches expect middle power influence in multilateral structures.
