Threats of military security in North-East Asia at the present stage

In the 1990s-2000s after the end of the Cold War and the collapse of the bipolar system it began to seem that the global military confrontation between the two powers left behind and that in the conditions of globalization and interdependence of all states from each other, it was impossible to return to the old rhetoric of the 20th century. However, since the second decade of the twenty-first century, it has become obvious that the logic of political realism, the solution of pressing foreign policy tasks from the point of view of purely national interests, still exists today. Even 10 years ago, many experts were skeptical about military security threats, focusing on nontraditional threats, non-military, economic, etc. Today, the issues of traditional, military security have been again topical on the agenda. Within the framework of this article, the problem of threats to military security in Northeast Asia is considered. The article is based on sources and materials available in open sources of information. The purpose of this work is to analyze modern threats to military security in Northeast Asia. The subregion of Northeast Asia due to its geopolitical, economic and institutional uniqueness has never lost the urgency of military threats even when on a global scale it seemed that they were outdated. The article analyzes the current territorial disputes in the region, and investigates one of the most pressing problems - the problem of North Korea's nuclear program. In addition, aspects such as frequent military exercises and the reformatting of military formations in the region were also reflected in the work. The author concludes that the current level of threats to military security is very high, and that these threats are actual. Northeast Asia is one of the most complex and explosive parts of the world space, capable of instantly plunging most of the world powers into a regional or global conflict. In addition, the author focuses on what adds a state of uncertainty and the absence of the proper institutional environment, which is observed in other regions of world politics.
