Summary/Abstract: The political and security situation in East Asia increases the risk of internal destabilisation in individual countries, regional militarisation and conflicts. It is likely that China will strengthen its position. The long-term effect might be a modification of regional order, which is currently based mainly on the presence of the U.S. as security guarantor. In the shorter term, the developments in Asia might convince the U.S. to increase its interest in the region at the expense of other parts of the world.
