The topic of this book deals with a highly relevant empirical
issue: East asian security and the dynamics of the respective
governance structure or architecture are not only of regional but
of global concern. Since the pivot of the American pivot to East
Asia and other external actor´s responses to it the security
architecture has changed in form, size and function. In order to
analyze and explain these changes, hypotheses derived from IR
middle range theories (i.e. soft and hard balancing) will be
applied to cases of bilateral and multilateral security governance
in East Asia.
