Abstract

The role of countries that are neither big nor small in international politics is still a comparatively neglected subject. The role of the middle powers can be examined according to two basic systems of international politics: the dualistic and the multiple. In a cold war situation, the middle powers, together with most of the other members of the state system, face two great dangers: becoming victims of the central rivalry and being objects of usurpation and even being eaten up by one of them. The concern of the middle powers, in the face of such a challenge, must be centered on the problem that means avoiding being reduced to the category of weak and powerless nations.
