The United States’ Differing Strategies of “New World Order” Between Europe and Asia in the Post-War Period

Abstract

In this article, the author wishes to investigate and analyze what were the underlying reasons for the United States to adopt a completely different strategy towards Europe and Asia as part of its search for a New World Order during a period defined by Toffler as a ‘Power Shift era’. While promoting the integration of Europe, the US simultaneously accepted and encouraged division across East Asia. Here, the author investigates and pays attention to why “the new world order” of the United States or of the United States-Britain and the Soviet Union had been different between Europe and Asia after WWII, and considers merits, demerits, and limits of post-war new world order, analyzing forecast on European regional integration, and Asian disintegration, or the aim and limits of new world order and the “Divide and Rule” strategy of the United States. In connection with that, the author wishes to consider and investigate the contemporary “new world order” from the US-China trade war in 2018–2020; how we could reconstruct that phenomenon.
