Abstract

"There is a significant uncertainty around US security commitment to East Asia over the next 15-20 years, underpinned by China's economic and military rise. This new collection investigates how and whether this affects the present-day strategic perceptions and behaviour of East Asian nations, and of the US itself. By exploring how regional actors deal with uncertainties that are inherent to the current geopolitical situation in East Asia, the contributors demonstrate that strategic uncertainty has become a major factor in the shaping of the security order in East Asia, which has resulted in the emergence of alternative models of order that do not necessarily exclude America"--

Abstract

"Offers a cogent overview of the historical context and enduring patterns of U.S. relations with Asia ... Robert G. Sutter provides a balanced analysis of post-Cold War dynamics in Asia, which involve interrelated questions of security, economics, national identity, and regional institution building. He demonstrates how these critical concerns manifest a complex mix of realist, liberal, and constructivist tendencies that define the regional order. Sutter weighs how the recent US emphasis on "re-engagement" with the broader Asia-Pacific fits within the context of regional dynamics. He assesses how the United States has responded to Asia's growing strength and importance while at the same time trying to maintain its leading position as an Asian power despite China's rising influence"--

Abstract

This book shows how political speech acts carry consequences in diplomatic relations. Focusing on interactions between the United States and Southeast Asian countries, the author shows that often the more powerful country does not get its way. American foreign policy is usually viewed as being uncompromising and hegemonic, but in reality, it strikes agreements and compromises on a regular basis. One would assume that the wealthier, more powerful country would always get its way. This study shows that smaller countries with little or no bargaining power can benefit from relations with the Unite

Abstract

In this novel and intriguing book, Michael Schaller traces the origins of the Cold War in Asia to the postwar occupation of Japan by U.S. troops. Determined to secure Japan as a bulwark against both Soviet expansion and Asian revolution, the U.S. instituted ambitious social and economic reforms under the direction of the flamboyant Occupation Commander, General Douglas MacArthur. MacArthur was later denounced by the Truman Administration as a ""bunko artist"" who had wrecked Japan's economy and opened it to Communist influence, and power was shifted to Japan's old elite.

Abstract

In October 2007, a group of distinguished thinkers from ASEAN and the United States gathered in Singapore for the ASEAN-U.S. Symposium. The objectives of the Symposium were to take stock of ASEAN's many achievements over the last three decades and to brainstorm new ideas that would elevate the ASEAN-U.S. relationship to a new peak. The Symposium addressed three main themes, namely, ASEAN at forty: Achievements and new vision; Understanding the strategic landscape and regional architecture: The role of the United States in ASEAN; and Opportunities for cooperation between ASEAN and the United States and the pursuit of peace, stability, and prosperity.
