Book Institutional Balancing in the Asia Pacific

Download or read book Institutional Balancing in the Asia Pacific written by Kai He and published by Taylor & Francis US. This book was released on 2009 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the strategic interactions among China, the United States, Japan, and Southeast Asian States in the context of China’s rise and globalization after the cold war. Engaging the mainstream theoretical debates in international relations, the author introduces a new theoretical framework—institutional realism—to explain the institutionalization of world politics in the Asia-Pacific after the cold war. Institutional realism suggests that deepening economic interdependence creates a condition under which states are more likely to conduct a new balancing strategy—institutional balancing, i.e., countering pressures or threats through initiating, utilizing, and dominating multilateral institutions—to pursue security under anarchy. To test the validity of institutional realism, Kai He examines the foreign policies of the U.S., Japan, the ASEAN states, and China toward four major multilateral institutions, Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Regional Forum (ARF), ASEAN Plus Three (APT), and East Asian Summit (EAS). Challenging the popular pessimistic view regarding China’s rise, the book concludes that economic interdependence and structural constraints may well soften the "dragon’s teeth." China’s rise does not mean a dark future for the region. Institutional Balancing in the Asia Pacificwill be of great interest to policy makers and scholars of Asian security, international relations, Chinese foreign policy, and U.S. foreign policy.

Book US Policy in the Asia Pacific Region

Download or read book US Policy in the Asia Pacific Region written by Robert Small and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "When China surpassed Japan as the world’s second largest economy in 2010, it signaled to the United States (US) it was time to reevaluate and revise policies in the Asia-Pacific region. The 2018 American National Defense Strategy reflects this shift. It states US goals are to maintain national security and a favorable regional power balance through expanded alliances and partnerships, openness and prosperity, deterring aggression, maintaining stability, and ensuring free access to common domains. However, traditional US strategies and policies are insufficient to meet these objectives in an interconnected age. The Asia-Pacific region has a complicated past that drives interdependence stemming from histories involving imperialism, colonialism, and great power actions after World War II (WWII), and there are often pervasive constructivist and liberal ideologies to complicate international relations. Additionally, regional stability “requires reinforcing political, economic, and military structures and processes that reduce the natural tendency of the members of a power balance to test the other side’s resolve.” These factors force the US to avoid military-only policies or consider each country in a vacuum. Unfortunately, many experts recommend extreme strategies and most only consider relations between the US and one other country at a time. Few, like Michael Swaine, suggest nuanced, regional strategies. To address these policy challenges, the US must pursue a new, hybrid approach, adopting many (but not all) of Swaine’s recommendations, and taking attributes from a variety of other strategies. Overall, the US must seek balance and peace between great powers, nuclear non-proliferation, and reduction of the scope of military engagement to when only truly necessary, a tenet of “selective engagement” strategies. The US will rely on countries in the region to check bad actors and limit active involvement to the greatest extent possible, a common emphasis of “offshore balancing” strategies. In addition, the US must accept an open world, where sovereign independence is accepted and international cooperation is encouraged, regardless of a country’s internal domestic issues. Therefore, the US must enact parallel, integrated policies for each country in the region that reflect a “whole of government” approach, leveraging tailored diplomatic, informational, military, and economic elements of power. These policies will focus on providing China a larger regional security role, denuclearizing and withdrawing US forces from Korea, securing relations with Japan, increasing allied capability, and improving trade and investment across the region."--Introduction.
