coat是什么意思Transformation of Asia-Pacifi c Security Architecture and ASEAN’s Role REN Yuanzhe
infinite loop>diaAbstract: After the Cold War, curity architecture in the Asia-Pacific region has undergone significant transformations. Especially in the context of “power-sharing” and “power-transfer” between China and the US, the Asia-Pacifi c curity architecture is taking on a new appearance. On the one hand, the US alliance system in the region is transforming from a hub-and-spoke pattern to a comprehensive network, with new allies, quasi-allies and potential allies contributing from different tiers. On the other hand, as reprented by China and Russia, an emerging partnership network is getting more attention
and a higher voice. Strategic initiatives like China’s “Belt and Road” and Russia’s “Eurasian Alliance” are reshaping the geopolitical and geo-economic status in the Eurasian continent and the Asia-Pacific region. As an important role player in the region, ASEAN has established a ries of regional and trans-regional curity architecture to facilitate cooperation between shareholders and contribute to the integrative curity architecture in the future. At the same time, becau of the rising tensions between major powers in the region, ASEAN’s centrality is facing unprecedented challenges. The future Asia-Pacifi c curity architecture depends on a new strategic connsus between China and the US and the reassurance of ASEAN’s centrality in the region.

Security architecture is a key component of the regional curity order as well as an important focus of rearch on curity and regional order. Studies on regional curity architecture and regional curity order were in the ascendant and made great strides in the post-Cold War era. In the Asia-Pacifi c region where the Cold War mentality still remained with complex and changeable curity situations, studies in the academic circle at home and abroad entered into a period of rapid develop
ment on curity order and architecture in East Asia and the Asia-Pacifi c region.1 Since 2008, a ries of new curity issues continued to pop up and China’s rapid ri brought about changes in the regional power structure. Coupled with the interwoven curity concepts, old and new, and curity mechanisms, the factors jointly promoted the transformation of the Asia-Pacifi c curity architecture as well as the popularity of the Asia-Pacifi c curity rearch.
The Asia-Pacific region, which is currently in transition, is facing unprecedented curity challenges. Traditional curity issues like territorial sovereignty are mostly unsolved and such non-traditional curity issues as terrorism and transnational crime have become the highlights of the agenda. In view of the gradually declining strategic mutual trust between major powers and the epidemic of nationalism in some countries, uncertainties in the development of the Asia-Pacific region are constantly on the increa. Against this background, many scholars in the United States turned to “offensive realism” as their canon with a pessimistic view about the prospects in the Asia-Pacific. And some scholars even believed the growing tension and military competition between China and the United States in the region would make it diffi cult for both sides to get rid of the fate of “curity dilemma” and thus make possible the outbreak of military conflict.2 As perceived by many scholars, one of the major contributing factors of the state of “no-order” and even “disorder” in the Asia-Pacifi c curity order is the imperfect regional curity architecture.supermarket是什么意思
