Core concepts and principles

The Middle Powers are shaping the emerging geopolitical landscape. The war in Ukraine has shone a spotlight on the activism of the Middle Powers as the major driving force of the reshaping of the international environment. They are a cast of odd bedfellows. South Africa, India, South Korea, Germany, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Israel, to name but a few, don’t have much in common. Some are democracies, some are autocracies and others populate a grey area in between.

The days when geopolitical risk was not something most companies needed to worry a lot about are long gone; it’s now a board-level issue. It’s more important than ever for companies and their CEOs to be able to tap into genuine geopolitical expertise. But where can they get this, and how should it feed into their work?

TRUST INDICATORS

The roots of Russia-Nicaragua relations can be traced back to the Cold War era, when Nicaragua was under the socialist government of the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN), which came to power in 1979. The two governments signed an agreement to open diplomatic missions on October 18, 1979.

During this period, the Soviet Union provided significant economic and military aid to Nicaragua, including tanks, helicopters, and other military equipment. The Soviet Union also helped to train Nicaraguan military personnel and supplied oil and other essential resources.

Instruments of PRC Soft Power

Policies clearly manifesting PRC soft power in Latin America are still in relatively early stages, but generally include Confucius institutes, people-to-people engagements, media outreach, high-level public diplomacy, and activities by PRC firms – activities overall consistent with Xi Jinping’s 2022 orders for “strengthening and improving international communication work.”
