Publisher's Synopsis
The maze of American-Asian relations can best be understood from the global perspective of political continuity, the chain of cause and effect that ties one event to another. This volume observes and analyzes in depth the political/military/economic policies that the United States and Asian nations have taken towards one another, and the shifting winds of international relationships on the threshold of the 21st century, asserting that Americans and Asians are destined to share their common destiny so as to create "Pax Pacifica".
