- Abstract
In the last fifteen years a fundamental shift in the strategic balance in Asia - Pacific has taking place. The article aims at discussing the difficulties the Japan-US military Alliance has adaptating to this new regional strategic environment. It also explains the new strategy that President Obama's Administration is trying to implement, initially called "Pivot to Asia" and later "Rebalance". The article tries to show the challenges that this new strategy implies for both Japan and the United States, enumerating different scenarios some of them not very likely and highlighting on the contrary the possibility of a more assertive and military independent Japan.
