The game is about how the United States can form strategic alliances where the unipolar movement, the ASEAN and the mutual defense treaties such as Japan, Australia, and South Korea are united form common economic benefits. The article that relates to this game is called the Double Game that was analyzed. After the world war one, the United States defeated Germany and acquired the superpower title and there the US is the unipolar movement. After the Second World War, the United States formed alliances with countries like India and Pakistan and build their institutions to have a capacity of handling communisms issues and diplomacy (Fesperman, 2013). This alliance was strategic as it enabled the United States to penetrate and got valuable natural resources such as oil and other natural gas In 1965, the United States withdrew from both Pakistan and India and the Pakistan military was put into probation.
In 1979, the United States intelligence discovered that Pakistan was building a powerful nuclear weapon to encounter the India nuclear weapon program. The same year, the dictator military Mohammed hanged the civilian president Zulfikar and the US aid was stopped. The burning of the US embassy in Pakistan was a great blow to unipolar movement of the United States and therefore, the US responded by striking the military of the base of the Pakistan which was becoming a threat to the United States. However, the emerging trends in the nuclear weapons have shown the world moves from unipolar to bipolar since China has come up strongly and investment policies that have seen the countries grow at 8.8% per annum and the US are growth at 3.8%. It is estimated that in the next 10 years only the US and China would be able to spend 100 billion on military and this a bipolar movement (Singh, 2016).
The ASEAN resembles the International organizations that were that are the primary decision-makers in regard to the economic participation of each country and these international organizations were supposed to open up other countries so that the US power could dominate the world for its competitive advantage. With the emerging bipolar movement, the ASEAN is likely not to achieve its objective as the global power dynamics shifts to bipolar as witnessed between China and the United States.
The Five mutual treaties that the United States formed were aimed at increasing the accessibility of economic resources among the member states and makes retain the unipolar. The treaties main role was to ease the trade between the United States and other countries and to neutralize the defense so that only one superpower remains (Singh, 2016). In order to fulfill the goal of economic integration, the rule of the game is that ASEAN has to accept the China proposal so that both two major countries can form one economic block to ensure that bipolar does not exist in the world. The United States should also block Russia military from dominating the world by forming alliances with European Union countries. The alliance should extend to Japan so that members to have several trade routes that can give the United States a competitive advantage and retain its superpower.
