Carney and Stubb Call for Active Middle-Power Role in Global Order
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and Finnish President Alexander Stubb outlined a strategy for middle powers to engage proactively in reshaping international institutions.
In a joint commentary, Carney and Stubb argued that middle-power nations must take decisive action rather than wait for an ideal world to emerge. Their proposal follows Carney’s widely discussed Davos address and Stubb’s earlier Foreign Affairs piece on preventing a further decline of the global system. Both leaders stress the urgency of reinforcing multilateral bodies before the current order deteriorates further.
