U.S. Foreign Policy in Asia in the 21st Century

Abstract

The foreign policy of the United States has been frequently criticized for a lack of consistency. This paper proposes that the U.S. needs to take a look at the geo-political realities and trends of the 1990s and then project ahead ten years to the turn of the century with a desired political environment for Asia. It then describes what the author believes is a realistic scenario that the U.S. would provide itself a goal to strive for and, coincidentally, a roadmap by which to manage each crisis as it occurs. The establishment of this vision will restore consistency to U.S. foreign policy. (SDW)
