The United States is now the most powerful nation in history, and
this power has grown since September 11, 2001, forcing nations
around the globe to re-evaluate their relationships to the unipolar
superpower. Nowhere is this re-evaluation more important than in
East Asia, a region that has been defined by American power since
the Second World War. Indeed, despite America's physical distance
from East Asia, the United States has been a key player in the
region since the nineteenth century, when it played a major role in
opening up both Japan and China to the West. This book details the
changing nature of power relations in East Asia, and includes case
studies on China, Japan, Thailand, the Philippines, Indonesia,
Malaysia, Korea and Australia. It argues that there are a number of
insights that can be drawn from various traditions which help to
explain the complex, multi-dimensional nature of American power at
the beginning of the twenty-first century. Across the region,
countries are being forced to come to terms with and accommodate
America's dominant position and its increasingly assertive foreign
policy. History and contingent contemporary circumstances mean that
the precise nature of bilateral relationships will be different.
But whether the Bush Doctrine is having a salutary or destructive
effect on the region or specific countries, it is something East
Asia and the rest of the world will have to learn to live with.
