3 Historical Analysis and Trend Prospect of the Transformation of Asian
Security Governance

WANG Yajun

[Abstract] The Cold War has exerted a fundamental impact on the Asian security
landscape in that it has strengthened the dominant position of the United States in
this region and impeded regional countries from exploring Asian security
governance, thus forming a fragmented and criss-crossed geopolitical security
pattern. Consequently, the clashing security concepts and their mutual influence and
complex interaction have shaped Asia into an intermediate zone between the two
poles and created conditions for the world to move towards multi-polarization.
Viewed from the perspective of public goods supply, Asian security governance
mainly incorporates US-led Asian security governance, ASEAN-led regional
security cooperation and the Chinese-initiated new Asian security concept and its
practices. In reality, the co-existing three modes of security governance have formed

a complex and diverse security governance system in Asia through their interrelation
and interaction. China has reaped positive results by a series of responsible,
constructive and predictable policies and measures in advocating new security
concepts, jointly maintaining regional security, exploring new modes of security
governance, strengthening strategic mutual trust among major countries as well as
handling the management and control of peripheral hotspot issues. Admittedly, the
construction of the Asian security architecture still has a long way to go. China
should uphold the new security concept put forward by President Xi Jinping as the
guideline, proactively promote the interconnectivity and integration between the
new security outlook and the existing security concepts and governance modes
adopted by different parities within the region, facilitate the construction of Asia
security architecture and the community of shared future for Asia, deepen mutual
trust and cooperation with relevant countries, assume greater responsibilities and
play a more positive role in promoting security governance in the Asia-Pacific
