New Diplomacy of Strategic Autonomy: Why Countries Refuse to Choose Sides

Original: New Diplomacy of Strategic Autonomy: Why Countries Are Refusing to Choose Sides?

Analysts are examining the rise of strategic autonomy as a defining approach in global diplomacy, with middle powers and developing nations increasingly declining to align fully with either Washington or Beijing.

Why now: Ongoing US-China rivalry and conflicts like the war in Ukraine are pushing many states to publicly reject bloc politics.
