Abstract
The need to assess the retrospective of the development of the multilateral alliance of Western powers in the Asia-Pacific region is due to the modern dynamics of the transforming “classic” model of military cooperation in order to determine the need to create a new military and political alliance – AUKUS. As well as to identify specific problems in the functioning of specific alliances, followed by an assessment of the factors of their influence on the alignment forces in the region, in the emerging system of the “new” balance of power between the US and China.The emergence of a new military and political alliance AUKUS is determined by the evolutionary need to develop a system of military and political alliance in the Asia-Pacific region, dictated by the need of Western powers (primarily the United States) to build a more effective system of alliances designed to provide a “real value” in the policy of balancing Western democracies in response to modern challenges within the APR.
