Abstract: Die Studie analysiert die auswärtige Politik mittlerer Mächte - Aitoler- und Achäerbund, Rhodos, Pergamon - in hellenistischer Zeit unter systematischen Gesichtspunkten. Im Mittelpunkt stehen dabei ideologische Aspekte der Kriegführung und Bündnisdiplomatie. Diese Mächte, die nicht über die Ressourcen der großen Diadochenmonarchien verfügten, aber in dauernder machtpolitischer Konkurrenz zu ihnen standen, mussten ihre Politik in einem sehr hohen Maß ideologisieren, um bei potentiellen Bündnispartnern auf größtmögliche Akzeptanz für ihr Handeln zu treffen. So ergibt sich in den Quellen das Bild einer totalen Gegensätzlichkeit zwischen machtpolitischen Ambitionen und ideologischer Selbstdarstellung, die doch in Wahrheit in einem engen Zusammenhang standen.

English Abstract: The study analyzes the foreign policy of middle powers - the leagues of the Aetolians and Achaeans, Rhodes, Pergamum - in the Hellenistic period from a systematic point of view. The focus is on ideological aspects of warfare and Alliance diplomacy. These powers, which did not have the resources of the great Diadoch monarchies, but were in constant competition with them, depended heavily on allies and had to ideologize their policies to a very high degree in order to gain the greatest possible acceptance of their actions in dealing with potential allies. Thus, in the sources, there appears the picture of a total contradiction between political ambitions and ideological self-presentation, which were in truth closely connected.
