Language: English Subject(s): In: Foreign Affairs . -- v. 90, n. 6 (November 2014)Abstract: The article looks at structural analogies between the strategic situation in Europe in the summer of 1914 and in East Asia today. The article comes to the conclusion that there are very few similarities between Europe in 1914 and East Asia today, but that both the high degree of militarization of the Korean peninsula and the evolving military competition between the US and China in the region do imply the possibility of a major armed conflict in a not too distant future.Revista R0073 (MAEC-Biblioteca Central)
