In the post - cold war era , a new concept " cooperative security " , which was antagonistic towards " cold - war thought " , appeared and developed in the asia - pacific area . the term means " consultation rather than confrontation , reassurance rather than deterrence , transparency rather than secrecy , prevention rather than correction , and interdependence rather than unilateralism " “合作安全”是冷战结束后在亚太地区发展起来的一种与“冷战思维”相对立的全新的安全理念，它的基本思想在于“磋商而非对抗，确保而非威慑，透明而非秘密，预防而非纠错，相互依存而非单边主义” 。
