Abstract

U radu se analiziraju geopolitičke i vojne posljedice AUKUS pakta između Australije, SAD-a i
Ujedinjenog Kraljevstva. Prvi dio rada se odnosi na međunarodni poredak i strateško okružje
početkom 21. stoljeća s naglaskom na Sjedinjene Američke Države i Kinu. Zatim smo proučili
stratešku važnost Indo-Pacifika i strategije određenih aktera sukladno njihovom utjecaju u
navedenoj regiji. U nastavku smo se fokusirali na AUKUS pakt i njihovu strategiju. Nadalje,
objektivno smo sagledali strateške percepcije sedam zemalja i Europske unije s ciljem analize
geopolitičkih i vojnih posljedica, ali i identificiranja mogućih partnerstva u budućnosti. Odabrani
su na temelju njihove trenutne ili potencijalne buduće uloge u Indo-Pacifiku. Također smo
analizirali i usporedili određene saveze s AUKUS-om. Naposljetku smo razjasnili sigurnosnu
dilemu podmornica na nuklearni pogon u AUKUS sporazumu i posljedica koje bi mogle
izazvati.

Abstract (english)

The paper analyzes the geopolitical and military consequences of the AUKUS Pact between
Australia, the United States and the United Kingdom. The first part of the paper refers to the
international order and strategic environment at the beginning of the 21st century with an
emphasis on the United States and China. Then we have studied the strategic importance of the
Indo-Pacific and the strategies of certain actors according to their influence in the said region. In
the following, we focused on the AUKUS pact and their strategy. Furthermore, we objectively
looked at the strategic perceptions of seven countries and the European Union in order to analyze
the geopolitical and military consequences, but also to identify possible partnerships in the
future. They were selected based on their current or potential future role in the Indo-Pacific. We
also analyzed and compared certain alliances with AUKUS. Finally, we clarified the safety
dilemma of nuclear-powered submarines in the AUKUS agreement and the consequences they
could cause.
