Regional Powers

Regional powers are countries that wield significant influence within their specific geographic area, shaping political, economic, and security dynamics locally or regionally. They have stronger military, economic, or diplomatic capabilities than neighboring countries but are not global superpowers like the U.S. or China. Examples include India in South Asia, Brazil in South America, or Nigeria in West Africa. These countries often lead regional cooperation, influence regional policies, and play key roles in unresolved conflicts or economic integration within their regions. Their power is mostly confined to their geographic area but can impact broader regional stability and development.
