Abstract/Summary
The end of the Cold War has ushered in a period of uncertainty, particularly in East Asia. Many historical animosities have resurfaced, along with nation-states exercising irredentist claims towards parcels of land in the South China Sea. As the only superpower left, the United States has to make sure that its interests in the region remain clear and protected.
Hence, this thesis describes and explains the steps taken by the United States in maintaining peace and order in East Asia in the post-Cold War period, from 1989-1995. Moreover, this thesis offers explanations on American foreign policy in East Asia during and after the Cold War to determine if there were any significant changes made to it in light of the changing environment in the region. Furthermore, to show the importance of East Asia, this thesis identifies the economic and political interests of the United States in the region. In addition, this thesis discusses the decisions and actions taken by the United States in East Asia in order to protect its interests in the region.
