冷戰初期東亞地區安全防禦體系的建構與此間的英美互動

冷戰初期，美國為遏制蘇聯共產集團的擴張，積極投入歐亞安全事務，除了與其他西方民主國家在西歐建立對抗共黨威脅的北大西洋公約組織外，也在東亞地區構築一道圍堵共產主義擴張的安全防線。

During the early Cold War era, the United States, deeply concerned about Soviet expansion in Eurasia, pursued a containment policy to halt the spread of communism, particularly into Europe and beyond. In Europe, the United States, alongside Canada and Western European democracies, established the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) to collectively address challenges posed by communism. However, in East Asia, a different alliance structure emerged, characterized by a‘hub-and-spoke’model with the United States at its center and other nations in the region as spokes. Additionally, a multilateral security pact known as the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO) was later formed in Southeast Asia.
