This volume is divided into two parts. It begins with several articles that address the broad question of the value and dangers of choosing regional or subregional solutions rather than relying on global ones. Subsequent articles give greater perspective on the international and historical context of APEC, and examine preconditions for APEC's success. Rounding out Part I is a series of articles that focus on perhaps the greatest challenge to the willing engineers of a new order in Asia, the challenge of leadership. Leadership includes, of course, exercising influence. Just as importantly, it entails articulating a strategic vision of how the institution can contribute simultaneously to Asia's and America's wellbeing, and how it can complement other international arrangements. The authors of Part II explore the range of issues that APEC or other new institutions might take on. These issues should not be confined to the economic realm, according to key specialists and policymakers. Articles examine trade and investment liberalization, intellectual property rights, and the possibility of an Asian-Pacific free trade agreement. Several focus on American aid and trade restrictions that place American companies and workers at a competitive disadvantage. Contending values in United States foreign policy -- democracy and human rights versus unfettered economic relations -- are confronted head on. The final section focuses on the importance and relevance of security issues to APEC.

Barack Obama’s "rebalancing" or "pivot" strategy, intended to demonstrate continued US commitment to the Asia-Pacific region in a variety of military, economic, and diplomatic contexts, was launched with much fanfare in 2011. Implicit in the new strategy is both a focus on China – engagement with, and containment of – and a heavy reliance by the United States on its existing friends and allies in the region in order to implement its strategy. This book explores the impact of the new strategy on America’s regional friends and allies. It shows how these governments are working with Washington to advance and protect their distinct national interests, while at the same time avoiding any direct confrontation with China. It also addresses the reasons why many of these regional actors harbour concerns about the ability of the US to sustain the pivot strategy in the long run. Overall, the book illustrates the deep complexities of the United States’ exercise of power and influence in the region.
