One of the most notable shifts in global politics in recent decades is the increasing influence of countries known as "Middle Powers," which have moved beyond the traditional "East-West" bloc. As the post-Cold War US-centric unipolar order loosens; Regional actors such as Turkey, India, Brazil, Saudi Arabia, and South Africa are now adopting policies of "strategic autonomy" and "inter-bloc balance" instead of rigidly tying themselves to a single bloc.
