Abstract

Formal and informal modifications to the US-Japan Alliance have expanded the value the Alliance operational structure delivers in support of US and Japanese national and combined naval activities in Southeast Asia. This article analyzes how the Alliance now serves as an increasingly powerful force multiplier which magnifies the capabilities, efficiency, and impact of the two allies’ naval activities in Southeast Asia. Unlike previous studies on the role of the United States or Japan in the region, it focuses on the evolving functionality of the Alliance operational structure. The article systematically discusses how the evolving nature of the Alliance operational structure is enabling it to provide expanded support for Southeast Asian maritime security in five areas: basing, combined operations, partnerships and access, extra-regional coordination, and cooperative capacity-building. Those evaluations enable discussions of prospects for US and Japanese initiatives in Southeast Asia.

力量倍增器

对美日同盟的正式和非正式修改扩大了同盟运作结构的价值，以支持美国和日本在东南亚的国家和联合海军活动。这篇文章分析了北约现在如何成为一个日益强大的力量倍增器，它放大了两个盟国在东南亚的海军活动的能力、效率和影响。与以往关于美国或日本在该地区的作用的研究不同，它侧重于联盟运作结构的演变功能。本文系统地讨论了北约行动结构的演变性质如何使其能够在五个领域为东南亚海上安全提供更广泛的支持:基地、联合行动、伙伴关系和准入、区域外协调以及合作能力建设。这些评估有助于讨论美国和日本在东南亚倡议的前景。

期刊介绍： The only academic journal of its kind produced in the United States, Asian Survey provides a comprehensive retrospective of contemporary international relations within South, Southeast, and East Asian nations. As the Asian community’s matrix of activities becomes increasingly complex, it is essential to have a sourcebook for sound analysis of current events, governmental policies, socio-economic development, and financial institutions. In Asian Survey you’ll find that sourcebook. Asian Survey consistently publishes articles by leading American and foreign scholars, whose views supplement and contest meanings disseminated by the media.
