- The Carney Doctrine was proposed by Canada Prime Minister Mark Carney at the World Economic Forum, Davos.
- It suggests a “Third Path” for middle powers to avoid choosing sides in the U.S.-China rivalry.
- The approach promotes strategic autonomy while still encouraging global cooperation, not isolationism.
- Carney emphasized that middle powers must act together to protect sovereignty and strengthen their influence in global affairs.
- Canada has implemented this doctrine through strategic partnerships with China, Qatar, India, ASEAN countries, and Mercosur.
- The doctrine is particularly relevant for countries like India navigating great-power competition.
