The influence of external major players on regional security in Southeast Asia

Abstract

The article analyzes the influence of the PRC, the USA, Japan and India on the regional security in Southeast Asia. It examines, where this influence leads to against the background of the general conflict aggravation in the region, caused by a decrease in trust between large states, intensified by territorial disputes and the build-up of military potential. The importance of Southeast Asia in the foreign policy and foreign economic activities of major powers is emphasized. It is noted that the struggle of strong countries for dominance in Southeast Asia makes this territory the epicenter of their clash. Attention is focused on the national interests of each geopolitical giant in strengthening regional security, and the risk of a powerful military confrontation in the region is also noted.
