East Asia And The Pacific: Challenges For U.s. Policy

As the cold war ends, the United States is being forced to reassess the dominant role it has played in East and Southeast Asia and the Pacific during the decades that followed World War II. Bringing readers up to date on policy trends in the area, the author provides a general overview as well as detailed analyses of key issues in individual nations and regions. The author concludes by placing these regional developments in the context of the ongoing debate in the United States over an appropriate foreign policy in the post-cold war world.

The United States and East Asia: Dynamics and Implications

This authoritative and comprehensive assessment of U.S. relations with East Asia offers a cogent analysis of the issues affecting the region, as well as domestic determinants of American policy. Sutter argues that how well or poorly U.S. policies and behavior mesh with the priorities and actions of East Asian leaders will profoundly influence the course of the relationship. Drawing on a wide range of sources and the author's invaluable perspective as the U.S. government's most senior analyst of East Asian affairs, this book assesses the key causes and trends in recent security, economic, and political dynamics in East Asia to point to the opportunities and challenges they pose for U.S. policy today. Sutter's carefully balanced assessment of both U.S. and Asian determinants and developments supports his argument that recent American policies and behavior are reasonably congruent with those of leaders in the region, leading to a generally positive outlook for the United States in East Asia and the Pacific.

Chinese Foreign Relations: Power and Policy since the Cold War (Asia in World Politics)

China is commonly considered an emerging power in world affairs as increasingly confident Chinese leaders, backed by growing economic and military strength, engage in innovative diplomatic approaches that pave the way for China's international role. Yet, as Robert G. Sutter shows in this meticulous and balanced assessment, the record of twists and turns in Chinese foreign relations since the end of the Cold War highlights a very different perspective. Domestic problems, nationalism, and security concerns continue to preoccupy Beijing, complicating China's rise and innovations in foreign affairs. On the international front, the actions of other powerful nations and growing dependence on the world economy complicate as well as enhance Chinese efforts to exert international influence. Providing a comprehensive introduction to Chinese foreign relations, Sutter shows Chinese leaders exerting growing influence in world affairs but remaining far from dominant. Facing numerous contradictions and tradeoffs, they move cautiously to avoid major confrontations, costly commitments, or mistakes that could undermine their one-party rule as they deal with an international environment posing numerous challenges as well as opportunities for Chinese interests.
