Now in a fully revised and updated edition, this cogent book provides an overview of the historical context and enduring patterns of U.S. relations with Asia. Noted scholar Robert G. Sutter offers a balanced analysis of post–Cold War dynamics in Asia, which involve interrelated questions of security, economics, national identity, and regional institution building. He demonstrates how these critical concerns manifest a complex mix of realist, liberal, and constructivist tendencies that define the regional order. He describes how the United States has responded to Asia’s growing strength and importance while at the same time trying to maintain its leading position as an Asian power despite China’s rising influence. Considering the most important transition in American policy toward Asia since the end of the Cold War, Sutter assesses the growing U.S.-China rivalry that now dominates both regional dynamics in the Asia-Pacific and U.S. policy in the region.

Bob Sutter is among the best academic analysts of American foreign policy toward Asia. Adding to his first edition, this volume provides an insightful, up-to-date assessment of the continuities and disjunctions of the Trump administration’s unusual approach to Asian affairs.
Sheldon Simon, Arizona State University
The Trump administration has reshaped Washington’s Asia policy on Beijing, moving decisively to check a rising China. Bob Sutter is supremely qualified to assess and explain this seismic shift in American policy and international relations. Students of Asia and of American foreign policy are well served by the sharp analysis in this book.
Ming Wan, Schar School of Policy and Government, George Mason University
Robert Sutter is the leading expert on U.S.-Asian relations. His latest book combines the insights of a former government analyst with the skills of an academic to provide a fair-minded, careful account that pays due regard to the views of both sides, while making his own views clear. It deserves to reach a very wide audience.
Michael Yahuda, author of The International Politics of the Asia-Pacific
