Structural Resilience,Feedback Processes,and the Mechanisms of Regional Security Risk Generation:An Analysis Based on the U.S."Indo-Pacific"Maritime Strategy
Risk has become the prevailing discourse in international security studies.The international security system is the space in which systemic risks between states arise,and thus it is essential to define the conditions and processes of risk generation at the systemic level.When the probability and severity of losses caused by the actors in the system both increase,the system enters a state of high risk.The causes of systemic risk encompass both structure and process.Specifically,when structural resilience decreases(or vulnerability increases)and positive feedback dominates the process,the system enters a high-risk state.Maritime security strategy is a core component of the United States'"Indo-Pacific"strategy.During its advancement,this strategy will impact the resilience of the system's structure through three aspects:organizational form,organizational way,and unit characteristics.Additionally,it will promote the system into a positive feedback process in three phases:process formation,process development,and process escalation.
