This thoughtful and deeply informed book assesses the background, status, and outlook of U.S. relations with the Asia-Pacific. Noted expert Robert G. Sutter provides a balanced inventory of significant points of agreement and disagreement between the United States and the governments and peoples of the region. The author carefully considers widely held views of the United States in decline, he finds that recent U.S. difficulties have not fundamentally undermined the main foundations of the leadership, power, and influence that America has exerted in the region for many years. Instead, he convincingly argues for U.S. policy options that will help to remedy prevailing difficulties while sustaining American interests and leading role in Asian and Pacific affairs.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
A carefully researched and crafted book that provides readers with a balanced view of the U.S. role in the region. Sutter writes in a compact and highly informative manner. The book is useful for readers with an interest in empirical facts of U.S.-Asia relations and students of international relations in the Asia Pacific. Contemporary Southeast Asia We've been hearing for years that the U.S. position in the Asia-Pacific is in decline in reverse correlation with the rising prominence of China. Sutter's masterful study lays aside this simplistic perspective in favor of a strongly historical, multidimensional view of U.S. relations with the Asia-Pacific and a clear understanding of the fundamental forces shaping the region. A new order is rising in Asia. This is a compelling argument for why the United States will remain a part of it. -- Mark Borthwick, East-West Center
