This book examines the origins of the US Navy’s 2007 Maritime
Strategy, the formation of the US government’s “Pivot to
Asia” strategy, and the most recent revisions to this strategy
that focus more specifically on China. Besides examining the
details of this strategy formulation, the book explores the
internal and external repercussions on the US Navy of the Pivot to
Asia. It discusses the “Fat Leonard” scandal, which involved
bribery and corruption in contracts for the maintenance of the US
fleets in the region, and considers the sharp decrease in training
and readiness of the Pacific fleet to support the pivot, which in
turn led to serious maritime collisions. It also assesses the
impact of the pivot on other countries in the region, engaging in
the debate as to whether the pivot was necessary in order to
convince the countries of the region that the United States had not
lost its staying power, or whether the pivot managed to make
tensions in the Asia-Pacific worse even while allowing the
strategic situation in the Middle East and Europe to worsen as a
result of neglect.
