Niche Diplomacy: Middle Powers After the Cold War

Explores how countries that are not poor enough to receive big- power welfare nor rich enough to sit at the high table of world affairs, have targeted their diplomatic activity to modest functional or geographical niches. The case studies include Canada and peacekeeping, Norway and the Middle East peace settlement, middle power initiatives on South Africa, Australia's regional strategy, and those of Mexico and Argentina.
