Encountering the Dominant Player

Más información sobre el libro

According to Tow, US defense policy has lost touch with the forces of change in the Asia-Pacific. Even as political and strategic developments in the area demand greater American sensitivity to regional security priorities, Washington continues to apply an outdated, irrelevant global deterrence posture. Tow argues that unless policy adjustments are made, the US will be supplanted as the dominant player in the region. He discusses the roles of China, the USSR, New Zealand, and the Philippines, concluding with recommendations for enhancing US strategic influence. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
