| description | The article presents the results of a study of the genesis of US-British relations in the context of the historical and political peculiarities of the formation of the interstate association AUKUS.
The scientific novelty of the study lies in the use of comparative analysis in the process of understanding the history of US-British relations during the presidencies of Presidents D. Trump and J. Biden as a prerequisite for the participation of both countries in the process of forming the AUKUS interstate association. Attention is focused on the commitment of the J. Biden administration to a multilateral approach to foreign policy, which required the search for updated mechanisms of cooperation with traditional partners, including the UK. The AUKUS project is seen as a mechanism for preserving the influence of the Anglo-Saxon world in the Indo-Pacific region in the context of the growing conflict with China. The author summarizes the considerations of the impact of AUKUS on Ukraine’s international position.
The purpose of the research is to identify the causes, preconditions, content, and impact of the updated format of US-British relations on international relations on the example of the formation of the AUKUS interstate cooperation project in the context of current global and regional political processes.
The research methodology included chronological, historical and political, historical and genetic, and comparative methods. This made it possible to study the development of interstate relations between the United States and the United Kingdom on the eve and at the stage of formation of the interstate association AUKUS, in which Australia also participated, to study the impact of current trends in international relations on the peculiarities of these states’ participation in AUKUS and to assess the significance of this innovative association in the world security system.
Conclusions. It has been established that the commitment of the administration of US President J. Biden to a multilateral approach to foreign policy, unlike his predecessor D. Trump, has required the search for updated mechanisms of cooperation with traditional partners, among which the UK continues to occupy a leading position. The international project AUKUS proposed by the United States reflects an attempt to maintain influence in the Indo-Pacific region in the face of the growing conflict with China while maintaining the dominance of the Anglo-Saxon world as the core for a potentially broader unification of the region’s states.
Conclusions. With the launch of the AUKUS project, the US-British “special relationship” has once again received an incentive to intensify. However, such an association has both a preventive function in terms of deterring military conflict in the region and the world, and the challenges of further intensifying the arms race and the opposite effect – increasing international tension. The interests of the main actors in the possible resolution of the military conflict in Ukraine have converged in the Indo-Pacific region. Therefore, Ukraine’s international prospects indirectly depend on the success of the AUKUS project as an element of international relations in the Indo-Pacific region as a whole. |
