U.S. Foreign Policy and Asian-Pacific Security: A Transregional Approach
edited by William T. Tow and William R. Feeney
The Reagan administration has indicated clearly that the United States will reassert its strategic presence in Asia and the Pacific at levels not equaled since the close of the Vietnam conflict. The implications of this policy bear careful examination in light of the growing divergence between U.S. security perceptions and those of our European and Asian allies. The dynamics of evolving U.S.-Japanese differences over the size of Tokyo's defense expenditures and force levels; ASEAN's reluctance to accept Washington's developing security ties with Beijing; the potential extension of the scope of the ANZUS alliance to include northeast Asia, the northwest Indian Ocean, and possibly the Middle East; the emerging West European involvement in Asian-Pacific defense matters; and the problems of U.S. military basing arrangements are all issues that merit increased attention as we move through the 1980s.
This original collection is one of the first comprehensive attempts to identify and synthesize these issues and to analyze their importance to future U.S. strategic approaches to Asian-Pacific security. The underlying theme of the study is that, by reason of its history, geography, and national interests, the United States is compelled to remain an Asian-Pacific power and to play an active role in shaping that region's future in ways that will enhance transregional modes of strategic and economic cooperation.
Dr. William T. Tow is visiting assistant professor in the German Graduate Program (Munich) of the School of International Relations, University of Southern California. He is coeditor of China, the Soviet Union, and the West (Westview, 1981). Dr. William R. Feeney is associate professor in the Department of Government and Public Affairs at Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville. He has contributed articles to several recent books on China and Sino-American relations.
