This book explores the transformation of the American-led
alliances, as well as of US allies’ responses to potential
American disengagement from regional security amid the rising
Russian and Chinese threats. The post-Cold War international order
has led to three challenges for the West. The first challenge was
the ending of the Cold War, which had served as the fundamental
rationale of the US-centred alliance systems in both Europe and
Asia. The second challenge was that while the fear of US
disengagement in the post-Cold War era was initially about its
political willingness, the relative decline of the US has gradually
turned the question into that of capability. And the third
challenge is that for the first time since very long, a war in
which one of the great (nuclear) powers is involved takes place on
European territory. In Europe, the immediate consequence of the war
has been a strengthening of NATO. In Asia and the Indo-Pacific,
regional reactions to the war have been much more muted, for the
division between “friends and foes” remains less clear-cut than
in Europe. The chapters in this volume bridge the dynamics in the
European and Asian theatres and provide a comparative framework for
examining security alignments amid the shifting strategic context
of the Indo-Pacific. With 4 new chapters and a revised
Introduction, this book will be of great interest to students and
researchers of Politics and International Relations, Asian and
European studies. The other chapters were originally published in
Asian Affairs.
