The survey of the “Emerging Middle Powers Report 2024” was commissioned by Körber-Stiftung and conducted by Verian Germany between October 16 and November 29, 2023, based on an online questionnaire.
Among its key findings are that decision-makers from Brazil, India, South Africa and Germany have fundamentally different views on the challenges facing foreign policy. In South Africa, balancing relations between the major powers (21% of responses) is seen as the major foreign policy challenge, while 30% of German respondents consider the war in Ukraine to be the most significant foreign policy challenge. Almost one in two respondents in India (49%) say that relations with China are particularly challenging. In Brazil, climate change (38%) tops the list.
Participants were drawn from government, parliament, the military, the judiciary, diplomacy, journalism, academia, non-governmental organisations, activist organisations and the private sector from Brazil, India, South Africa and Germany.
You are invited to attend a webinar where experts from Körber-Stiftung and its cooperation partners in Brazil (BRICS Policy Center), India (Gateway House Indian Council on Global Relations) and South Africa (South African Institute of International Affairs) will discuss the report.
