United States and Asia

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. Robert Sutter offers a balanced analysis of post–Cold War dynamics in Asia and the growing U.S.-China rivalry that now dominates both regional dynamics in the Asia-Pacific and US policy in the region going forward.

Robert G. Sutter is professor of practice in international affairs at the Elliott School of George Washington University.
