ABSTRACT This article discusses how the ANZUS states of United States, Australia, and New Zealand that sit on the fringes of the Asia-Pacific, are increasingly using their armed forces to deliver Humanitarian Aid and Disaster Response (HADR) as a way of engaging with the region. This is a neglected topic both in international relations and research on regional security in the Asia Pacific. This assessment reveals new developments in regional engagement between the ANZUS states and the Asia-Pacific. It finds that despite a shared language, broadly similar regional goals, and a need for interoperability; the ANZUS alliance itself does not appear to be driving closer military coordination on HADR. This article finds instead that HADR is being used to build new informal security networks that combine traditional and non-traditional security threats as a form of soft balancing against China.

摘要 本文讨论了位于亚太地区边缘的美国、澳大利亚和新西兰的 ANZUS 州如何越来越多地使用其武装力量提供人道主义援助和灾难响应 (HADR)，以此作为与该区域。这在国际关系和亚太地区安全研究中都是一个被忽视的话题。该评估揭示了 ANZUS 国家与亚太地区之间区域交往的新发展。它发现，尽管有共同的语言、广泛相似的区域目标以及对互操作性的需求；ANZUS 联盟本身似乎并没有推动在 HADR 上进行更密切的军事协调。
