A perceived decline of the Soviet threat in East Asia and the
Pacific, reductions in the US defense budget, and changes in
US-Asian relations require a fundamental reexamination of current
and future US security policy toward East Asia. The region itself
is changing as the ideological causes of tensions decrease,
territorial-ethnic-political squabbles increase, and market
economics and political liberalization assert themselves. Numerous
proposals for future US policy and strategy are being
discussed-from insisting that our allies pay much more for defense,
to keeping or relinquishing bases in the Philippines, to phased US
troop reductions, to involving the Soviets in Pacific arms control
negotiations. Some of these proposals are motivated by narrow
concerns: trade deficits, the perceived Soviet decline,
nationalism, budget problems, or other special interests. Seldom do
they acknowledge the large and growing US stake in East Asia.
