Description
Summary: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.
