Acknowledgements
This is hard, uphill academic way, I thank all the people who helped me and beside
me. By devotion for politics, I came to a foreign country. I would like to very much
thank Prof. Eissel and Prof. Chu who gave me this opportunity. This paper
accomplished my aspiration to study international affairs that let me explore another
political field. I am grateful to Prof. Eissel advise many comments assist me to my
successful activities within the project. Yet my greatest thanks must go to my family,
without whose fundamental support and love it would have been impossible to cope
with this serious task. It is an end, but a beginning. Seeking knowledge is endless; I
will contribute to deeper academic research.

VAbstract
This thesis determines the viability of “the power realignment” model in explaining
the increasing tensions among emerging East Asia, Europe and North America.
Directing at study of power redistribution, this paper proposed a mixed power
analysis model, “power realignment”, based on emerging power, from a operated
emerging collective unit, through “co-governance ” and lastly into “possible
pathways”- a study of dynamic balance. The study involves regional and
supra-regional government, civil society and multilateral cooperation as subsidiary.
The integration of East Asia is likely to persist as a result of structural realities in the
international system. Only if the capability of East Asia begins to converge with its
international role will the regulative order in this tri-lateral relationship likely cease.
