Bush and Asia - America's Evolving Relations with East Asia (Hardcover)

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 Americas 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 new and important study details the changing nature of power relations in East Asia, and includes detailed case studies on China, Japan, Thailand, the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Korea and Australia. "Bush and Asia" 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.
