'This very timely volume brings together distinguished scholars and
analysts to provide fresh insights into the most important question
of our time: Is the United States' Asia-Pacific policy under the
Trump Administration characterized by continuity or disruptive
change? A collection of thoughtful, well-researched and engagingly
written chapters that make an invaluable contribution to our
understanding of the complexities of the United States' exercise of
power in an age of power-shifts and interdependence. A required
reading for policy makers, media persons, academics and students of
international affairs.' - Mohan Malik, Asia-Pacific Center for
Security Studies, Hawaii 'If you want to understand how the US can
maintain its position and influence in Asia's rapidly changing
strategic landscape you won't find a better analysis than the
chapters in this well written, and accessible, edited book which
brings together a range of prominent experts and practitioners.' -
Alan Dupont, University of New South Wales, and CEO of the
Cognoscenti Group, Australia The centre of gravity in today's
global economy arguably now resides in Asia. As a result of this,
the maintenance of geopolitical and economic security in Asia has
become pivotal to global stability. This indispensable Handbook
examines the crucial and multi-faceted role of the United States as
a force in the region that has been, and continues to be, necessary
for the continuation of Asian prosperity. The Handbook on the
United States in Asia moves the academic discussion away from the
fixation on America's influence in terms of the China threat. It
provides readers with comprehensive and informed coverage from
expert international contributors on the engagement of the United
States with a wide array of Asian countries. The Handbook examines
America's relationship with key allies as well as its multi-faceted
role and presence in the region. It also explores ways in which
this is changing under Donald Trump's presidency. The
policy-orientated focus of this Handbook ensures that academic and
governmental policy analysts will greatly benefit from the timely
and comprehensive assessment of the book. Undergraduate and
postgraduate international relations students, as well as Asian
studies scholars, will also find it to be an excellent tool for
study. Contributors include: M. Beeson, A. Benvenuti, A. Berkofsky,
A. Bloomfield, K. Brown, J. Galliott, Y.-K. Heng, M. Iverson, V.
