A close look at the evolution of American political alliances in
Asia and their future While the American alliance system in Asia
has been fundamental to the region's security and prosperity for
seven decades, today it encounters challenges from the growth of
China-based regional organizations. How was the American alliance
system originally established in Asia, and is it currently under
threat? How are competing security designs being influenced by the
United States and China? In Powerplay, Victor Cha draws from
theories about alliances, unipolarity, and regime complexity to
examine the evolution of the U.S. alliance system and the reasons
for its continued importance in Asia and the world. Cha delves into
the fears, motivations, and aspirations of the Truman and
Eisenhower presidencies as they contemplated alliances with the
Republic of China, Republic of Korea, and Japan at the outset of
the Cold War. Their choice of a bilateral "hub and spokes" security
design for Asia was entirely different from the system created in
Europe, but it was essential for its time. Cha argues that the
alliance system's innovations in the twenty-first century
contribute to its resiliency in the face of China's increasing
prominence, and that the task for the world is not to choose
between American and Chinese institutions, but to maximize
stability and economic progress amid Asia's increasingly complex
political landscape. Exploring U.S. bilateral relations in Asia
after World War II, Powerplay takes an original look at how global
alliances are achieved and maintained.
