ABSTRACT
The aim of this study is to examine the United Kingdom’s military policies in the Asia-Pacific region within the framework of its pursuit of hegemony, while also analyzing cases such as China and Taiwan. The study argues that the United Kingdom is structurally positioned as a great power, but in terms of power projection, it has been able to develop strategies at the level of a “middle power.” As the reason for this, it emphasizes that Britain has fallen behind in the global rankings, particularly in terms of the economy. Looking at the relevant literature, it is noticeable that studies focus on UK-Continental European relations after Brexit and the crisis in transatlantic relations, examining the Ukraine Crisis as an area of conflict. The most fundamental finding of the study is that the United Kingdom’s military policies in the Asia-Pacific region mostly contribute to the maintenance of American hegemony and interests. The study will primarily utilize printed and online reports, current news sources, articles, and empirical data from statistical institutions. The methodology will involve quantitative and qualitative research, data and discourse analysis, and a case study approach.
