This paper examines the feasibility and potential impact of an "Asian NATO" in the context of evolving international relations in Asia. To analyze the possibility of an Asian version of NATO, three objectives are pursued: (1) investigating the nature of NATO and its potential application in Asia, (2) examining past failures of NATO from the perspective of the balance of power and balance of threat theories, and (3) assessing the feasibility of an Asian NATO considering political and military challenges. The paper explores the changes in the geopolitical landscape that have led to increased interest in an Asian NATO, particularly among the United States and Japan. While the current balance of power and threat between the U.S. and China has led to the establishment of bilateral and three-way alliances, the possibility of an Asian NATO remains challenging. However, if China's pursuit of regional hegemony results in overwhelming external threats, ASEAN countries may be compelled to join a collective security system. This paper highlights the complex decision-making process that South Korea, in particular, would face in such a scenario.

This paper examines the feasibility and potential impact of an "Asian NATO" in the context of evolving international relations in Asia.

The paper explores the changes in the geopolitical landscape that have led to increased interest in an Asian NATO, particularly among the United States and Japan. While the current balance of power and threat between the U.S. and China has led to the establishment of bilateral and three-way alliances, the possibility of an Asian NATO remains challenging. However, if China's pursuit of regional hegemony results in overwhelming external threats, ASEAN countries may be compelled to join a collective security system. This paper highlights the complex decision-making process that South Korea, in particular, would face in such a scenario.
