NATO Indo-Pacific Shift:Strategic Logic and Paradox
In recent years,pushed by the United States,NATO has embarked on Indo-Pacific tilt,against the back-drop of deepening China-US strategic competition and Russia-Ukraine war.NATO not only views China as"systemic chal-lenge",claiming"the Indo-Pacific is important to NATO"and the security development in Indo-Pacific is indivisible to Europe-Atlantic,but also has taken a series of steps to enhance the defense and emerging technology cooperation with its four partner countries in the Indo-Pacific.This"Integrated Deterrence"strategic logic is quite different from the"coopera-tive security"logic behind the NATO's look to the Asia-Pacific in the 1990s and in the aftermath of"911"terrorist attack.Looking forward,NATO's Indo-Pacific Shift will continue in some aspects,but its defense cooperation with Indo-Pacific countries and involvement in Indo-Pacific security affairs will have its ceiling,given the NATO core tasks and area of responsibility,the inner differences,and above all the U.S.domestic political split and changes.
