U. S. Strategy for the Far East: Toward the 21st Century

Abstract

The United States post World War II security measures for the Far East have resulted in dynamic regional economic and political change. Ironically, America must now meet new challenges resulting from its successful security policies. Some observers predict the Twenty-first Century will be the Pacific Century. The strong export-led regional economies-notably Japan-are the primary cause for this perceived shift in power. Furthermore, we've become increasingly aware of the importance of economics as an aspect of national security and its impact on Americans' quality of life. Analyzing the Soviet regional threat and America's military, economic, political and sociopsychological regional interests and identifying current and future issues, this paper develops a general framework for designing a regional U.S. strategy for the Far East in the next century. Keywords: International economics; Foreign policy. Government.
