International social power realignments : East Asia, Europe and North America

摘要

This thesis determines the viability of "the power realignment" model in explaining the increasing tensions among emerging East Asia, Europe and North America. Directing at study of power redistribution, this paper proposed a mixed power analysis model, "power realignment", based on emerging power, from a operated emerging collective unit, through "co-governance" and lastly into "possible pathways"- a study of dynamic balance. The study involves regional and supra-regional government, civil society and multilateral cooperation as subsidiary. The integration of East Asia is likely to persist as a result of structural realities in the international system. Only if the capability of East Asia begins to converge with its international role will the regulative order in this tri-lateral relationship likely cease.
