Description

In the fall of 2011, the Obama Admin. issued a series of announcements indicating that the U.S. would be expanding and intensifying its already significant role in the Asia-Pacific, particularly in the southern part of the region. The fundamental goal is to devote more effort to influencing the development of the Asia-Pacificäó»s norms and rules, particularly as China emerges as an ever-more influential regional power. Given that one purpose of the äóìpivotäó or äóìrebalancingäó toward the Asia-Pacific is to deepen U.S. credibility in the region at a time of fiscal constraint, Congressäó»s oversight and appropriations roles, as well as its approval authority over free trade agreements, will help determine to what extent the Admin.äó»s plans are implemented and how various trade-offs are managed. Contents of this report: (1) Introduction: Whatäó»s Old and Whatäó»s New?; Congressäó» Involvement in the äóìPivotäó; (2) Overall Benefits, Costs, and Risks; (3) Military and Strategic Dimensions of äóìThe Pivotäó; (4) Diplomatic Dimensions of the äóìPivotäó; (5) Economic Aspects of the äóìPivotäó; (6) Implications for Congress. Figures and tables. This is a print on demand report.
