An alliance system can address political, economic, or military concerns and . America's Entangling Alliances offers a corrective to long-held assumptions about US foreign policy and is relevant to current public and academic debates about the costs and benefits of America's allies. It also helps reduce the risk of nuclear proliferation, a long-standing US and global concern: extended nuclear deterrence is widely considered the best way to discourage an ally from embarking on developing a nuclear weapons program of their own. Meanwhile, Western countries, their allies, and their partners would do well to think through the various scenarios in which contemporary alliances would interplay in order to avoid being surprised at the various ways events could unfold. A classic case of this for the United States was Vietnam. Bruno Simma et al., Third Edition (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2013), 1409. Support for US alliances around the world is at or near an all-time high. Will this expanding network of alliances create more stability or more instability? This is the case for Gulf countries, for instance, or for the aforementioned Greece-France security partnership. And if war erupted somewhere, what would be the risks of escalation? Some believe that traditional military alliances are getting weaker or outmoded, and will increasingly be replaced by looser ad hoc groupings such as the Quad,1The Quad involves Australia, India, Japan, and the United States. "It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliance with any portion of the foreign world." Farewell Address to the People of the United States | Monday, September 19, 1796 #foreign policy #government. Finland and Sweden have applied to NATO membership given the war in Ukraine, and were given security guarantees by several Alliance members to ensure their protection in the interim period. NATOs Article 5 was invoked for the first time ever. As a result of his Neutrality Proclamation of 1793, the U.S. dissolved its alliance with France. Those forged by the Soviet Union have disappeared. The axioms of presidents George Washington and Thomas Jefferson about steering clear of permanent and entangling alliances hold great power in the discourse of U.S. history. By 1914, Europe's six major powers were split into two alliances that would form the warring sides in World War I. Britain, France, and Russia formed the Triple Entente, while Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy joined in the Triple Alliance. These alliances weren't the sole cause of World War I, as some historians . Renewables are widely perceived as an opportunity to shatter the hegemony of fossil fuel-rich states and democratize the energy landscape. The US-South Korea one is drafted along the same lines: an armed attack in the Pacific area on either of the Parties in territories now under their respective administrative control, or hereafter recognized by one of the Parties as lawfully brought under the administrative control of the other.91Mutual Defense Treaty Between the United States and the Republic of Korea, October 1, 1953, https://www.usfk.mil/Portals/105/Documents/SOFA/H_ Mutual%20Defense%20Treaty_1953.pdf. Alliances were an important feature of the international system on the eve of World War I. Jean-Franois Guilhaudis, Les accords de dfense de deuxime gnration, entre la France et divers pays africains, Centre dtudes sur la scurit internationale et les cooprations europennes, June 1, 2021. A few years ago, a scholar calculated that US alliances covered some 25 percent of the worlds population and 75 percent of its gross domestic product.77Michael Beckley, The Myth of Entangling Alliances: Reassessing the Security Risks of US Pacts,International Security39, no. That same year, Armenia and Russia signed a bilateral defense pact that included a security guarantee.54Breffni ORourke, Russia, Armenia Sign Extended Defense Pact, Radio Free Europe-Radio Liberty, August 19, 2010, https://www.rferl.org/a/Russian_President_Medvedev_To_Visit_Armenia/2131915.html. The treaty provided that Germany and Austria-Hungary were to assist Italy if it were . Analysts worry that the impenetrable web of obligations may put us on a conveyor belt to conflict.7See Roger Cohen, Yes, It Could Happen Again,Atlantic, August 2014, https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2014/08/yes-it-could-happenagain/373465/; Ja Ian Chong and Todd H. Hall, The Lessons of 1914 for East Asia Today: Missing the Trees for the Forest,International Security39, no. Not in achievement, but in endurance, of the human soul, does it show its divine grandeur and its alliance with the infinite. Yet the same allies could also serve as a restraining factor, fearing that their own regional interests would then be less protected (a classic case being Europeans concerned about Vietnam).112Allies can also play a restraining role on enlargement, as demonstrated by the French and German refusals to offer a NATO Membership Action Plan to Georgia and Ukraine in 2008 and more recently in 2022 with Turkeys opposition to Finland and Swedens accession to NATO. cms, https://www.elysee.fr/emmanuel-macron/2019/08/27/discours-du-president-de-la-republique-a-la-conference-des-ambassadeurs-1, http://en.kremlin.ru/events/president/news/61719, https://www.scmp.com/news/china/ diplomacy/article/3140798/russia-relationship-better-alliance-chinese-foreign-minister, https://2009-2017.state.gov/s/l/treaty/ collectivedefense/index.htm. There was a variety of causes that influenced the beginning of World War I, but the primary causes consisted of three major crisis areas which eventually led to the creation of World War I: Balkan nationalism, entangling alliances, and militarism as welll as the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. A scenario involving the defense of Saudi Arabia could also have repercussions in South Asia given the closeness of defense relations between Riyadh and Islamabad. Contrary to NATOs Article 5, the EUs Article 42.7 does not require consensus: any EU country can invoke it to support an attacked member. In 1914, Dominic Tierney argues, the war began, not as a result of chain-ganging, but because of coordinated aggression by Germany and Austria-Hungary. And for the first time, a majority of Americans (52%) supported using US troops if China were to invade Taiwan.50Smeltz et al.,A Foreign Policy for the Middle Class. In sum, military ties are thickening globally. The defensive nature of modern alliances provides stability and predictability in the international system.83To be sure, Russia claims that NATOs role in the ex-Yugoslavia or in Libya is the proof of its offensive nature, but such compellence (i.e., coercive) operations were designed to protect civilians, not, say, to invade a country. The emerging system is complex, and policymakers would do well to think through possible future crises by imagining how the various moving parts would end up interacting. Four former NATO chiefs gathered at the Atlantic Council to weigh in on the Alliances response to the war in Ukraine, enlargement, and the next plays in its playbook. These groupings have not replaced formal military alliances: their development comes on top of them. 59, Pacific Forum International, December 22, 2021, https://mailchi.mp/pacforum/pacnet-59-jaukus-and-the-emerging-clash-of-alliances-in-the-pacific-1172630?e=5ea77c93b0. Put differently, the network of contemporary alliances is more a safety belt than the conveyor belt nightmare of 1914. These countries are thus now protected by concentric circles of alliances resembling a set of matryoshka dolls. In 1961, the Soviet Union erected the most iconic image of the Cold War, the Berlin Wall, which physically divided the Western and Eastern Blocs of Germany's city of Berlin. Instead, we should focus on cultivating alliances that help us out militarily and let us reduce our defense burden. 4 (2021). react?

"Taking care always to keep ourselves by suitable establishments on a respectable defensive posture," he wrote, "we may safely trust to temporary alliances for extraordinary emergencies.". A Secret Franco-Italian Alliance. Just because they are nations that might align with our values doesn't mean we have to be militarily committed to them. One of the crispest definitions of an alliance was put forth by political scientist Robert Osgood: a latent war community.12Robert E. Osgood,Alliances and American Foreign Policy(Washington: Johns Hopkins University Press, 1968), 19. In fact, in recent years Moscow has started to use the words alliance or allied to qualify its relationship with Beijing.70Rajeswari Pillai Rajagopalan, Russia-China Strategic Alliance Gets a New Boost with Missile Early Warning System,Diplomat, October 25, 2019, https://thediplomat.com/2019/10/russia-china-strategic-alliance-gets-a-new-boost-with-missile-early-warning-system/. Nowhere is this expansion of informal security groupings clearer than in the Indo-Pacific region, where the United States has built a hub-and-spoke defense cooperation system. Reassurance is also instrumental in reducing the risk of a renationalization of defense policies. Korea, US Agree to Launch High-level Extended Deterrence Dialogue, Yonhap News Agency, October 20, 2016, https://en.yna.co.kr/view/AEN20161019010455315. The ANZUS treaty was initially set up to counter a possible resurgence of Japanese militarism. The NATO treaty, which defines at length its scope of application, concerns only Europe and North America. This includes Alaska but not Hawaii and US territories in the Pacific.89The North Atlantic Treaty, April 4, 1949, https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natolive/official_texts_17120.htm; see Tertrais, Article 5 of the Washington Treaty.

What does entangling mean? a sufficient gravity, and . While their NATO memberships dampen the risk of a full-blown war between them, the United States has been less willing to play a mediating role than it did during the Cold War.126Likewise, an improbable, but not farfetched, scenario calling for Washington to play a mediating role could involve South Korea and Japan. The Shanghai Cooperation Organization has been described as a new Warsaw Pact or Eastern NATO.127Vali Kaleji, The Shanghai Cooperation Organization Is No New Warsaw Pact or Eastern NATO,National Interest, November 13, 2021, https://nationalinterest.org/feature/shanghai-cooperation-organization-no-%E2%80%98new-warsaw%E2%80%99-or-%E2%80%98easternnato%E2%80%99-196138. It was given expression in the Farewell Address of Pres. Meanwhile, France updated its own defense agreements with eight former African colonies, no longer committing itself to automatically defend seven of them (the outlier being Djibouti).23Jean-Franois Guilhaudis, Les accords de dfense de deuxime gnration, entre la France et divers pays africains, Centre dtudes sur la scurit internationale et les cooprations europennes, June 1, 2021, https://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-01978366. Separately, UK forces participate in UN peacekeeping forces on the island. The one person who can relieve us is of course the sole person we cannot go to: the one we love. Two timelier questions stand out at this particular moment in world history: is this thickening web of alliances good or bad for global stability, and does it increase or decrease the risk of war? Beckley's "The Myth of Entangling Alliances" makes a notable contribution to this broader, very constructive, trend. Author Jason W. Davidson examines these alliances to shed light on their nature and what they reveal about the evolution of American power. Davidson's definition of neoclassical realism is that the theory "argues that in an anarchic international system, states' behavior is driving by the distribution . Jun 20, 2022, By It is not widely known that during the Obama administration, for the first time ever, the United States formally clarified to allies that should a crisis arise in the NATO Treaty Area, a significant portion of its capabilities and capacity might be committed to Combatant Commands in other regions and hence not available to NATO.122Robert G. Bell, NATO Nuclear Burden-Sharing Post-Crimea: What Constitutes Free-Riding? (doctoral dissertation, Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, June 2021), 61. 2020-71, Amsterdam Center for International Law No. In the United States, polls by the Chicago Council on Foreign Relations showed that, for all of Trumps negative rhetoric, solid majorities in 2020 continued to say alliances in Europe (68%) and East Asia (59%) mostly benefited the United States as well as its allies.48Dina Smeltz et al.,Divided We Stand: Democrats and Republicans Diverge on US Foreign Policy, Results of the 2020 Council Survey of American Public Opinion and US Foreign Policy, Chicago Council on Foreign Relations, 2020, https://www.thechicagocouncil.org/sites/default/files/2020-12/report_2020ccs_americadivided_0.pdf. Mounting tension between the United States and the Soviet Union, and war in Vietnam determined U.S. foreign policy in the 1960s. This is the case for the US commitment to the South-East Asia Treaty (see below). In addition, the Treaty of Lisbon (2007) commits EU members to collective defense through Article 42.7.34Article 42.7 no longer binds the United Kingdom, which has left the EU. REUTERS/Kacper Pempel. Second, the early twenty-first century network of alliances and partnerships is not the equivalent to those of the twentieth century. Finally, the Biden administration has clearly confirmed that it would defend Taiwan against mainland China, rhetorically putting the island on a par with countries protected by treaty-based obligations.42David Brunnstrom, US Position on Taiwan Unchanged Despite Biden Comment: Official, Reuters, August 20, 2021, https://www.reuters.com/world/asiapacific/us-position-taiwan-unchanged-despite-biden-comment-official-2021-08-19/. .

This was made between Russia, France and Britain to counter the increasing threat from Germany. This pushed Germany into closer alliance with its neighbour, the . Regional cooperation is also on the rise in other parts of the world. How did Alliance systems contribute to the outbreak of World War I? This definition of alliance also excludes collective security organizations such as the Organization for the Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), as well as groupings such as the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO).10Vali Kaleji, The Shanghai Cooperation Organization Is No New Warsaw Pact or Eastern NATO,National Interest, November 13, 2021, https://nationalinterest.org/feature/shanghai-cooperation-organization-no-%E2%80%98new-warsaw%E2%80%99-or-%E2%80%98easternnato%E2%80%99-196138. Even if overall, the current order provides more stability than it is given credit for, its all too easy to imagine scenarios that could lead to real problems for the existing webs of alliances. "Perhaps love is a minor madness. Today, the US administration is expanding and consolidating these links seeking to build a latticework of alliances and partnerships globally that are fit for purpose for the twenty-first century.79A Conversation With Jake Sullivan, Council on Foreign Relations, December 17, 2021, https://www.cfr.org/event/conversation-jake-sullivan. n.) of Entangle. entangling phrase. In some circumstances alliances may embolden member states to initiate disputes against nonmember states and be more likely to aggravate dispute initiation against member states.104Choong-Nam Kang, Capability Revisited: Allys Capability and Dispute Initiation,Conflict Management and Peace Science, 34, no.

Europe Before World War I. Multi-Version Concordance Entangling (1 Occurrence). China sees the Quad as an Indo-Pacific NATO. And, whereas most analysts agree that Russia and China are not on the way to forming a true defense alliance, it is increasingly perceived as such.128Ananth Krishnan, Chinas Foreign Minister says U.S. As one legal commentator put it, EU law applies very differently to Campione dItalia, the Holy Mount Athos, the municipality of Budapest, the double kingdom of Wallis-et-Futuna within the French Republic, Martinique, or the Island of Bonaire.100Dimitry Kochenov, The Application of EU Law in the EUs Overseas Regions, Countries, and Territories After the Entry into Force of the Treaty of Lisbon,Michigan State International Law Review20, no. An Iran contingency could very well draw Europe into conflict given that Tehrans missiles can reach a significant part of the continent, which is the primary rationale behind NATOs deployment of ballistic missile defense. And today more than ever, red lines are drawn over gray areas. The Quad now has an explicit security (though not defense) dimension, something it did not have when this format was created in 2007. Allies return the favor when they participate in operations led by their protector, for instance in the Middle East and Central Asia for the United States, or in the Sahel for France. Three of them (Denmark, Norway, and Sweden) have agreed in 2021 to enhance operational cooperation.63Swedish Ministry of Defense, The Defense Ministers of Denmark, Norway, and Sweden Sign Statement of Intent on Enhanced Operational Cooperation, September 24, 2021, https://www.government.se/press-releases/2021/09/the-defence-ministers-of-denmark-norway-and-sweden-sign-a-trilateralstatement-of-intent-on-enhanced-operational-cooperation/.
