The 2025 G7 convened during a period of international instability, yet its meetings achieved meaningful progress on emerging technologies, particularly quantum and AI. The 2025 G7 cycle's outputs focused on defining the scope of cooperation rather than issuing a wide-ranging statement about geopolitical order, representing a fundamentally different perspective for middle powers.
Michael P. A. Murphy argues that middle powers can effectively employ strategies of science diplomacy to navigate the current instability in international relations. The technical dimensions of science policy possess the capacity to facilitate sustained cooperation amidst escalating international tensions, a dynamic clearly demonstrated by the key emerging technology outputs from the 2025 G7 cycle. By strategically emphasizing technical cooperation over contentious debates on international order, middle powers can actively support and enhance the resilience of vital international institutions, fostering stability in a volatile global landscape.
