Résumé
It is widely acknowledged that emerging countries are characterised by activeforeign policies. This article intends to shed light on a specific and unaddressed domain ofemerging countries’ foreign policies by reflecting on the use of international mediation. Twomajor questions will be addressed. Has international mediation become a ‘niche diplomacy’for emerging countries, meaning that mediation is particularly targeted for diplomatic activity?Do emerging countries really develop specific mediation strategies in comparison todeveloped countries?By studying international mediation at the conceptual and practical levels and in relationwith the countries’ foreign policy goals, this work will show that Turkey stands out for havinggone further in making international mediation a ‘niche diplomacy’, with an evident will toinstitutionalise this practice. South Africa, Brazil and China use this non-coercive tool on amore ad hoc basis – even if with a varied frequency – while India is not yet involved in thisfield of activity. It will also highlight the fact that emerging countries have so far not broughtabout substantial change in the practice of mediation. Where the specificity of emergingcountries’ approach is more evident is in the mediating role they intend to play, on a moreglobal scale, between the developed and the developing world.
