• Sommario/riassunto: This book examines a highly relevant empirical issue in International Rela- tions. A group of renowned scholars analyzes the new dynamics of East Asian Security and its respective governance structure challenging the conventional wisdom that the US as the traditional offshore balancer in the region is still the most definitive element in determining the outcomes in the region. Since the US pivot and other actors’ responses to it the security landscape has changed in form, size and function. In order to analyze and explain these changes, the authors apply hypotheses derived from Inter- national Relations middle range theories (i.e. soft and hard balancing) to cases of bilateral and multilateral security governance in East Asia.
