January 26 , 2026 14 hrs 0 min 22 0
  • 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.
