Unipolarity and the evolution of America's Cold War alliances[electronic resource] /by Nigel Thalakada. - New York :Palgrave Macmillan,2012. - 1 online resource.

Includes bibliographical references.

Introduction: the purpose of alliances; the end of the Cold War and the changing nature of alliances -- Management-of-power -- The North Atlantic Treaty Organization -- The United States-Japan alliance -- The United States-South Korea alliance -- The Australia-New Zealand-United States alliance.

The end of the Cold War has had a profound effect on the operation of America's Cold War alliances. Created initially as 'balance-of-power' instruments - that is, designed to check communist expansion by the Soviet Union and its Warsaw Pact allies - alliances have since become 'management-of-power' instruments. On one hand, allies now seek to benefit from and have influence over the exercise of American power and, on the other, the United States tries to distribute the burden of maintaining international order and stifle any attempt to balance against it. Using this novel framework, the author demonstrates how management-of-power dynamics are evident in the operations, capabilities, policies and force structures of America's principal alliances b6 s namely, NATO and those with Japan, South Korea and Australia.
