Abstract
The paper is devoted to reconstruction of Joseph Biden’s Indo-Pacific policy planning based on official documents. The region is understood as an objectively forming space based on factors independent of human interpretation. It is revealed that the US government doesn’t consider this space as common and aims to divide it into subregions according to its political interests. The US government introduces a four-element structure of the region, which has a purpose to contain both opponents (China, Russia, DPRK) and allies and partners. Also, it strives to adjust the regional architecture as a network of partnerships oriented towards the USA.
