- Abstract
- The end of the Cold War has precipitated a major rethinking of the United
States' international commitments in both the scholarly and policymaking comrnunities.
For the first time in nearly half a century, the United States is fundamentally
reconsidering both its military and economic relations with the outside world.
However, the debate over how to restructure US foreign policy has generally
focused on Europe. When analysts have referred to Asia, the emphasis has generally
been on economic problems in the region. Similarly, the thrust of these
works has tended to remain short-term, looking at the immediate future.
This paper challenges these viewpoints. It argues that East Asia is as important
as Europe to the United States, for security as well as economic reasons. The
paper looks at the long-run as well as short-run trends in East Asia, and argues
that the issues the US will face in the future will not arise solely from its traditional
adversaries-a major problem will be managing conflicts within alliances.
