Niş diplomasi bağlamında yükselen orta ölçekli güçlerin Afrika'ya yönelik dış politika davranışları

States are classified according to their positions and their potentials in the present international order. In the International Relations literature, in spite of the existence of 'middle power' notion, there occurred need for a new classification in the middle power groups, namely traditional middle power and emerging middle power. Emerging middle powers differed from the other sub-group through their reformist aspects requiring an inclusive international order. Additionally, they are eagerly trying to show their benevolent image in the international scene through the policy domains they are better at. The thesis provides a sub-state level analysis to reveal how NGOs are effectual elements during implementation of foreign policy paradigms. The thesis aims at covering both the roles of emerging middle powers in the international order and the roles of NGOs located in these emerging middle powers.
