Middle powers in international relations sphere
Анотація
The concept of “middle powers” takes a prominent place in the field of international relations studies. However, more attention is drawn to the analysis of the so-called “great powers”, while the theory of “middlepowership” is not covered enough. Nowadays, the role of middle powers in the modern international relations is obviously increasing. After the collapse of the bipolar system of the international relations, they gained a special role, acting as mediators in international conflicts, promoting democratic ideas, and drawing attention to the humanitarian problems. Thus, the activation of middle power states at the current stage increases the attention to their scientific research.
