“…Consequently, the country fails to fulfill a crucial criterion of a middle power: self-conception, which essentially requires acknowledging its status as a middle power (Swieland 2019). Israel, despite having significant economic and military power, is too dependent on the United States and on the Jewish diaspora support to be considered a middle power (Merom 2022). In the context of Thailand, internal conflicts have significantly impeded the country's capacity to engage effectively in regional and global forums.…”

This article examines the voting patterns of Nordic countries and the Netherlands in the UNGA, highlighting their longstanding alignment. Notably, Norway and Iceland are not part of theEuropean Union, which has been enhancing its foreign policy coherence since 1993. The central focus is to investigate if this integration has led to a divergence between EU member states and non-members. By calculating the voting cohesion rate among these countries in the UNGA from 1993 to 2021, the article found no significant variation in the cohesion rate, suggesting that European integration has not ended their historic alignment.

“…The last group of states is caught between small-middlestate divisions. Israel is the case of a geographically small state with strong military power (Merom, 2021). Wilkins and Rezende (2022) show distinctive characteristics of awkward powers.…”

“…So-called coping mechanisms picture the behavior of states searching for options to transfer their power to other states or organizations. As Merom (2021) indicated, Israel may pertain to this group of states using the power of the US (via the Israel lobby) -so-called "borrowed power". Similarly, this applies to Canada acting as a traditional middle power with the strong support of the US government.…”

This paper addresses a specific phenomenon concerning power concepts in‎ Canadian and EU foreign policies. As is widely known, the liberal-democratic ‎platform has dominated global relations after the end of the Cold War. Implemented ‎power approaches are studied from theoretical perspectives of liberalism/‎constructivism standpoints and their realist critique. Canada has been ‎presented mostly as a middle power in international relations trying to find‎ its specific role as a mediator and balancer among superpowers. On the other ‎hand, the EU is classified predominantly as a normative power with tendencies ‎to act as a great power from some point of view. In the paper, we analyse ‎both entities through the recent concept of ‘awkward power’, whereby states ‎have a so-called “dubious character”, acting in-between the potential of great‎ and middle powers.‎
