In case of a near-simultaneous Russian attack in Europe, the US Army could still play a major roleit would not be heavily involved in most Asian contingenciesbut the [US Navy] and [Air Force] would largely play support and coordinative roles.121Robert Farley, Can the US Military Still Fight a Two Front War and Win?,National Interest, January 22, 2021, https://nationalinterest.org/blog/reboot/canus-military-still-fight-two-front-war-and-win-176799. An even more problematic case would pit a NATO member against a non-NATO EU member: say, for example, Turkey against Cyprus. In my opinion, NATO is the definition of an entangling alliance. A problem with this measurement is that its overly narrow definition of entanglement may overlook cases of the phenomenon in the empirical record. To be sure, this has never been a simple thing: many borders are undefined or contested. 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.

They are also less likely in themselves to produce a pushback from other countries (the security dilemma), especially when they adopt unilateral confidence-building measures aimed at reassuring a potential adversary that they have no aggressive designs against it. Causes of WW1: Franco-Russian Alliance. Generally speaking, defense cooperation agreements have proliferated since 1990, from less than one hundred to more than six hundred.71Brandon J.

US Department of Defense, Australia-Japan-United States Defense Ministers Meeting Joint Statement, July 7, 2020. Likewise, Seoul and Washington did not overreact when North Korea attacked a South Korean ship and shelled islands in 2010; the CSTO did not move when a missile fell on Armenian territory in 2020; and Iranian attacks on Saudi territory over the past decade elicited fairly measured US reactions. It is not immune to shocks, and in the twenty-first century it may only take a tweet by a US president for the belt to snap. NATO is increasingly projecting its security umbrella over European nonmembers. They can range from financial or logistic . Americans were as willing as ever to send US troops to defend allies and partners, for instance in case of a North Korean invasion of South Korea (63%), in case of a Russian invasion of a NATO member (59%). These strat-egists argue that security relationships harm U.S. security by incentivizing allies and partners to take risky actions that threaten to draw the United States into conflict or by causing the United States to expand its definition 30 (February 2000), Jamestown Foundation (defunct publication), https://jamestown.org/program/russia-and-north-korea-sign-friendship-treaty/.

Military alliances usually contain promises that in the event of war or aggression, signatory nations will support their allies. 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. 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? Bruno Simma et al., Third Edition (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2013), 1409.

It must also leave enough room of maneuver to the protector. Its core premise was to avoid signing "entangling alliances" that would draw the United States or its foreign policy into European rivalries. An armed attack which authorizes self-defenserefers to Article 51 of the Charter and is one step higher. . 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. The growth of the Western system of military alliances and partnerships is partly a consequence of the radicalization of Russian and Chinese policies. In fact, Beijing has always claimed that the US network of global alliances is a cover for hegemony.119China Believes That America Is Forging Alliances to Stop Its Rise,Economist, September 25, 2021, https://www.economist.com/china/2021/09/25/ china-believes-that-america-is-forging-alliances-to-stop-its-rise.

Intra-European defense solidarity was further reinforced by two new bilateral defense clauses: one between Germany and France through the Aachen Treaty of 2019 (which includes a particularly strong mutual commitment), and another between Greece and France through a strategic partnership agreement signed in 2021.35John Psaropoulous, Greece Ratifies Landmark Intra-NATO Defence Pact with France,Al Jazeera(website), October 7, 2021, https://www.aljazeera.com/ news/2021/10/7/greece-ratifies-intra-nato-defence-pact-with-france. significance: a cause of WWI. 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. Thomas Wilkins concurred with Khanna and wrote in 2012 that informal security arrangements (alignments) would be the future international security standard.6Thomas S. Wilkins, Alignment, not Alliance: The Shifting Paradigm of International Security Cooperation: Toward a Conceptual Taxonomy of Alignment,Review of International Studies38, no. 4 (2000), https://www.jstor.org/stable/174649. The European mutual defense commitment enshrined in the Lisbon Treaty is the distant successor to the Brussels Treaty of 1948, which itself was an enlargement of the Treaty of Dunkirk, a defense pact signed the previous year by London and Paris to protect against Germany. The terms of this support are outlined in the alliance document. Where exactly does Article 42.7 of TEU apply?

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. Triple Alliance, secret agreement between Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy formed in May 1882 and renewed periodically until World War I. Germany and Austria-Hungary had been closely allied since 1879. 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. also one of the causes that made Britain explode (Britain was a powder keg at the time). Mounting tension between the United States and the Soviet Union, and war in Vietnam determined U.S. foreign policy in the 1960s. a substantial effect.94Albrecht Randelzhofer and Georg Nolte, Article 51, inThe Charter of the United Nations: A Commentary, eds.

North Korean, Iranian and, to some extent, Turkish foreign policies have also contributed to various states seeking new defense partnerships for mutual protection. The Alliance System played an important role in leading to the First World War mainly because it divided the European powers into two rival military camps, the Triple Alliance and the Triple Entente by 1907.

The term is most often applied to the political atmosphere . The Quad now has an explicit security (though not defense) dimension, something it did not have when this format was created in 2007. Pakistan withdrew from the (now defunct) South-East Asia Treaty Organization, or SEATO, in 1968 and no longer appears on the list of Manila-Pact-related US defense commitments. Recent events show that NATO has been cautious in invoking Article 5: it was not done in 2007 when massive distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks of Russian origin affected Estonia, or when a Turkish aircraft was downed by Syria over international waters in 2012. dealing with, FOREIGN SERVICE. A legitimate question mark could exist for Turkish behavior in recent years, but given the tensions between Ankara and its alliesnotably the United Statesit is unlikely that It played a role. Russia formed an alliance with France to protect herself against Germany and Austria-Hungary. As the previous section outlined, there are plenty of ways that more complex crises could spiral out of control, leading policymakers to make difficult decisions under extreme pressure. 1 (2009). 3 (2012): 674, https://www.montesquieu-instituut.nl/9353262/d/Kochenov%20EU%20Law%20in%20 the%20Overseas.pdf. Another uncertainty relates to the exact definition of protected territories, the centerpiece of security guarantees. In fact, modern defense commitments are vaguer than they were in the past in terms of the anticipated allied response.115As an example, the Dual Alliance of 1879 committed Austria-Hungary and Germany to come down on Russia with the whole war strength of their empires. See The Dual Alliance Between Austria-Hungary and Germany October 7, 1879, The Avalon Project: Documents in Law, History and Diplomacy, Yale Law School, Lillian Goldman Law Library (website), accessed May 30, 2022. Author Jason W. Davidson examines these alliances to shed light on their nature and what they reveal about the evolution of American power. I will compress them within the narrowest compass they will bear, stating the general principle, but not all its limitations.Equal and exact justice to all men, of whatever state or persuasion, religious or political:peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations, entangling alliances with none:the support of the state . "They may fight with us, but they don't fight for us.". (Recall that President Trumps disparaging comments about the tiny and aggressive country of Montenegro were precisely meant to signal the fear that an ally could drag the United States into World War III.105Macias and Higgins, Trump Says Defending Tiny NATO Ally Montenegro.) In particular, revisionist countries holding unconditional deterrent agreements are more likely to initiate conflict than if they had not been given an alliance or had been given a conditional deterrent alliance instead.106Brett V. Benson et al., Ally Provocateur: Why Allies Do Not Always Behave,Journal of Peace Research30 (2013), https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0022343312454445. Definition and examples. This, in turn, facilitates economic cooperation and growththe best examples being the recovery of Europe, Japan, and South Korea after 1945. 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. Alliance Origins and Their Effect on the Outbreak of World War One The First World War began after a complex series of events, which had distinct roots that can be found in the foreign policies of European countries' governments. Separately, UK forces participate in UN peacekeeping forces on the island. In 2020, Greece and the UAE signed a security agreement that reportedly contained a mutual defense clause.60Vassilis Nedos, Greece, UAE Commit to Mutual Defense Assistance,Ekathimerini, November 23, 2020, https://www.ekathimerini.com/news/259450/ greece-uae-commit-to-mutual-defense-assistance/.

Ash Jain, Matthew Kroenig, and Jonas Parello-Plesner. 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. by Jacob G. Hornberger. 2 (2017), https://press.armywarcollege.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=2928&context=parameters. Another problematic example is the European Union. (Then again, those including nuclear powers are rarely tested either.) The consolidation of the Western system of alliances in Asia was made even stronger in 2021, when Australian and Japanese officials made it clearer that their countries would support the United States in a conflict over Taiwan.43Reuters, Inconceivable Australia Would Not Join US to Defend Taiwan: Australian Defence Minister, November 13, 2021, https://www.reuters.com/ world/asia-pacific/inconceivable-australia-would-not-join-us-defend-taiwan-australian-defence-2021-11-12/; Reuters, Japan Deputy PM Comment on Defending Taiwan if Invaded Angers China, July 6, 2021, https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/japans-aso-peaceful-solution-desirable-any-taiwancontingency-2021-07-06/; and Jeffrey W.
