At Davos 2026, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney delivered a masterclass in statecraft at a time of global fracture.
He redefined the essential role of middle powers like his country and South Africa, framing them not as mere swing states, but as the critical architects of stability – the builders of pragmatic coalitions and guardians of the rules-based order.
“The middle powers must act together because if we are not at the table, we are on the menu,” he warned. Bravo!
