The security environment in Northeast Asia between American authority and Chinese influence

Abstract

The security environment for Northeast Asia is extremely important, as it includes most of the international actors (United States of America, China, Russian Federation and Japan), which gives the nature of the interactions of these forces a special importance for the region.

Because of the multiplicity of policies and interests of the active forces in the region, the result has been an unstable regional environment where the interests of the major powers often clash repeatedly on many related issues, which is coupled with the growing efforts of many powers to adopt policies that differ from what they did in the past This resulted in different patterns of relations, which were mainly characterized by competition over regional leadership and the prevalence of different tensions between them and the increase in different alliances based on the centrality of the American and Chinese roles, which found resonance in the three-pronged and bilateral axis policies in the interactions of the security environment for the whole region.
