Restrictions on expeditionary military power could be one example, based on national levels of ambition and factors including history and military culture. Japan is a good example of this: it has significant latent capability, but it chooses to deploy its armed forces abroad only in very constrained and limited circumstances.
Middle powers are influential states that sit below superpowers and great powers. They could be instrumental in forming a new multilateralism to help solve global challenges. The topic was discussed in the Davos 2024 session ‘Middle Powers in a Multipolar World’. António Guterres’ Special Address at Davos 2024 was stark.
Far from experiencing a decline in hard power, larger nation states are steadily shoring-up their military capabilities. The top ten spenders in 2015 included the U.S., China, Russia, India, Japan and Germany. Some of these countries - along with major purchasers such as Israel and Saudi Arabia - are clearly preparing for confrontations in the ...
Electricity infrastructure planners around the globe can learn from the US military, whose mission requires planning for low-frequency, high-impact threats, and which has increasingly focused on energy resilience as foundational to their global peacekeeping and war-fighting missions. After the catastrophic power outages in Texas in February ...
Mar 10, 2015. No country in modern history has possessed as much global military power as the United States. Yet some analysts now argue that the US is following in the footsteps of the United Kingdom, the last global hegemon to decline. This historical analogy, though increasingly popular, is misleading.

The overwhelming majority of military uses of the cyber domain have been aimed at securing short-lived tactical advantage on the battlefield.

Here’s why. Despite growing signs of military preparations under way in leading countries, there is every reason to believe that a major war is impossible in modern international relations, as is evidenced, inter alia, by the recent Indian-Pakistani war crisis that involved an exchange of air strikes and took a toll of several hundred lives.
Frontier risks are low-likelihood, high-impact threats that could arise as humans explore new realms, whether technological, ecological or territorial. Lethal Autonomous Weapons Systems don't need human control to act and pose a critical frontier risk. Global regulations on the use of militarized artificial intelligence are insufficient but ...
The USA's military superiority lies in its airpower with 13,400 aircraft, four times as many as China and three times more than Russia. Russia has the most tanks by far at 15,000, but China has the most ships with more than 2,000 compared to the American fleet of just 400.
Put simply, international affairs are shifting from a unipolar world dominated by the US to a multipolar system where power is more distributed across states, companies, and non-state actors. While the US is still the dominant military power, political, economic, and technological influence is shifting eastward to countries like China and India.
