| Description: |
Providing a coherent and current account of how the U.S. manages to 'pivot to Asia' amid a rising China, this book provides an insightful glimpse into China-US relations, and the complexities of the two nations' economic and defense issues as China asserts is financial and military might in Asia and beyond. |
| Synopsis: |
"A comprehensive yet concise treatment of Taiwan's place in Obama's pivot to Asia. Leading experts in the field examine the geopolitical, economic, military, strategic, and diplomatic aspects of this little-understood and controversial policy initiative." - June Teufel Dreyer, Professor, University of Miami, USA The rise of China as a powerhouse of the world economy not only caused many countries to deepen their economic integration with, but also face the challenge of, increasing assertiveness from China.While most Asian countries want good relations with both the U.S. and China, they need the U.S. to pledge security commitments to check China's hegemonic expansion. Under such circumstances, the American 'Pivot to Asia,' has become an important foreign policy measure to reassure its allies that it will strive to keep peace and stability in the region, crucial elements to economic dynamism. |
