ЮГО-ВОСТОЧНАЯ АЗИЯ: АКТУАЛЬНЫЕ ПРОБЛЕМЫ РАЗВИТИЯ, 2021, №2(51), 20-29

 
Annotation: The article reveals the main parameters of the U.S. Indo-Pacific strategy under J. Biden. Despite the short term in the presidency, it is already possible to note a high level of continuity in the Indo-Pacific strategy of J. Biden in comparison with his predecessor D. Trump. The basis of a «new» approach – is the comprehensive containment of the PRC, the promotion of alternative economic mechanisms and the strengthening of the military-political dialogue with the US allies, as well as deeper involvement of key partners, including ASEAN member states. For the Association itself, the development of the IPR and the institutionalization of its main formats is a challenge to its central role in ensuring security in the region, which can further exacerbate intra-ASEAN contradictions.
