520			_a"Military Strategy of Middle Powers explores to what degree 21st-century middle powers adjust their military strategies due to changes in the international order, such as the decline in US power. The overarching objective of the book is to explain continuity and change in the strategies of a group of middle powers during the 21st century. These strategies are described, compared and explained through the lens of Realism. In order to find potential explanations for change or continuity, the strategies of eleven 'middle' powers are analysed (Canada, Germany, Italy, Spain, Australia, Brazil, Indonesia, South Africa, India, Japan, South Korea). This group of countries are considered similar in several important aspects, such as relative power capacity. When searching for potential explanations for different strategic behaviours among the middle powers, their unique regional characteristics are a key focus and, consequently, the impact of the structure and polarity, as well as the patterns of amity and enmity, of the regional context are analysed. The empirical investigation is focused on security strategies used since the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001, which was one of the first major challenges to US hegemony. This book will be of much interest to students of military and strategic studies, foreign policy and International Relations, in general"-- _cProvided by publisher.
