ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Scholars networked together through the East Asia Institute (EAI) have been paying attention to the rise of middle powers in international politics through their research and policy suggestions. We formed the Middle Power Diplomacy Initiative to study South Korea’s middle power diplomacy from the perspective of national strategy, the binding regional and global context, and its impact. This initiative was possible by the generous two-year funding from the MacArthur Foundation. The MacArthur Foundation also supported EAI’s efforts to carry out the previous four years of research activities under the banner of Asia Security Initiative. We would like to thank ambassadors from Australia, Brazil, Canada, India, Indonesia, Mexico, and Turkey who participated in our roundtable discussions to share their experiences with middle power diplomacy. Finally, EAI research fellows, Mr. Jin-Seok Bae, Mr. Young Hwan Shin, Ms. Hyee Jung Suh, Mr. Jaesung Ryu, and Mr. Benjamin Engel were all helpful in preparing materials, editing, and preparing workshops. Without their assistance, it would have taken more time to publish this book. Finally, our thanks go to Palgrave Macmillan for helping us prepare this book for publication.
