Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to analyze international relations in the Asia-Pacific region in terms of the balance of power. This mode of analysis is justified not only by the explanatory power of this theoretical concept, but also by the absence of regional institutional arrangements. The United States as a superpower is very active in balancing and rebalancing regional strategy, motivated by the desire to counter China’s growing influence. Meanwhile, in 2017 both superpowers were able to manage their bilateral relations by dialogue and cooperation on many regional issues, including North Korean nuclear programme.
