The administration of George W. Bush has overseen a transformation in American foreign policy toward the rest of the world. Unilateralism, assertiveness, and neo-conservatism have been the hallmarks of this period. Nowhere have these changes been more important than in East Asia, a region that contains some of the most economically and strategically significant countries in the world. Bringing together a number of recognized international experts, this book considers the impact of changes in American foreign policy on the East Asian region, as well as the evolving nature of American policy itself. Specific case studies consider America's relations with the most important countries of the region, including China, a potential strategic rival, Japan, still the second largest economy in the world, and Indonesia, the world's largest Muslim country. These case studies and others are complemented with more theoretical and thematic considerations of the nature of American hegemony, its historical links to the region, security policy, economic ties, and American attitudes toward emerging East Asian regionalism.

"Bush and Asia" provides a comprehensive introduction to, and analysis of, the Bush administration's relations with what will be the twenty-first century's most dynamic and strategically significant region.
