The national security strategy of the U.S. emphasizes, one the one hand, its capability to exercise its power unilaterally to promote its and its allies’ interests throughout the globe. One the other hand, the U.S. is seeking to build a system of
regional security networks that Asia as a means to help realize the objective. However, the U.S. alliance strategy toward Northeast Asia may produce somewhat different outcome than it used to produce
in the Cold War period. The end of the Cold War caused the loosening of the camp-consciousness among the nations and the
emergence of a new national strategy paradigm in which the nations freely pursue their individual interests. As a result, the U.S. influence in the region is likely to decrease. It would subsequently cause alliance’s security dilemma which is likely to
intervene as a constraint between the U.S. intentions and the security reality in the region.
