Abstract
|
|
|
|
| Although the US-led system of formal alliances remains the main pillar of the regional security architecture in Asia, alignment cooperation - centred on the Indo-Pacific maritime conceptualisation of the region - has been on the rise. This includes informal bilateral and minilateral agreements for security collaboration between regional and extra-regional US treaty allies or close security partners, notably Japan, Australia, India, the United Kingdom and France. While the various alignments complement and address the deficiencies of the formal US-led alliances, the functional and informal characteristics of alignments allow countries to pursue security cooperation both in conjunction with the United States and independently of it. This leads to a more fluid security architecture that increasingly reflects the diversity of emerging regional 'architects', among which Japan is assuming a leading role, as much as the region's array of new security challenges. |
