Abstract

At a moment of “rupture”1 in the multilateral system, middle powers can and should ensure the cooperation needed for global public health. Middle powers are “states that are neither great nor small in terms of international power, capacity, and influence”.2 The category includes both smaller high-income countries, such as Norway, Switzerland, or Qatar, and larger middle-income countries such as Brazil, South Africa, or Thailand.
