Description

This report from the Asia Foundation Commissioned Task Force on America’s Role in Asia analyzes key problems in U.S.-Asian relations and offers recommendations to the new administration and Congress on Asia policy. Composed of thirty leading policymakers and scholars, the Task Force evaluates current U.S. policies on Asian security, economics and trade, and democracy and human rights in light of U.S. interests and the role of the United States in the post-Cold War world. It recommends immediate steps the United States must take to pursue policy goals in Asia, and measures to improve mid- to long-term relations. Special attention is given to the impact of political and social change in both Asia and the United States, and to the domestic considerations that drive policy on both sides.
