International Trends(Favorable movements)

• Developed nations are taking a restrictive stance or the use of military force since the end of the Cold War.

• Regional stability should be an international matter along with economic globalization.

• Through information technology,information sharing is expected to become much easier and quicker.

International Trends(Unfavorable movements)

• Transnational issues are increasing.- international and domestic terrorism

• The proliferation of WMD and missiles.• Territorial disputes and conflicts caused by

religious and racial differences.• Waves of computer crimes or cyber terrorism

The Asia/Pacific region in the early 21st century

• The state level information gaps will be widened.

• Non-state organizations will increase their anti-social activities.

• The proliferation of WMD may intensify tensions between militaries in the future.

• Unsolved Cold War issues ( Taiwan strait, the Korean Peninsula) will persist.

• Necessity of the multilateral system will increase.

The trend of U.S. role in the world

• The United States will likely continue to have an interest in maintaining its treaty alliances.

• The U.S. – Japan alliance will remain the center of U.S. security strategy in East Asia.

• The United States will continue to have a profound interest in strengthening engagement and ties with other non-allied nations.
