Summary

"This book provides multifaceted analysis of the so-called US "rebalance" (or "pivot") toward Asia by focusing upon the diplomatic, military, and economic dimensions of the American policy shift in the Asia Pacific region. Most of the existing literature has almost exclusively focused upon the military dimension of the US pivot to Asia and to depict it, in a rather reductive manner, as a US "grand strategy" of military containment of China. In contrast, this book seeks to bring to light the breath and complexity of what is a diplomatic, military and economic repositioning of the United States toward (and within) the Asia Pacific. To do so, the first section of the book assesses the international and domestic drivers and the policy objectives of the US rebalance to Asia by bringing to light the multiple diplomatic, military, and economic dimensions at play as well as their mutual linkages. The second section of the volume examines the regional reactions to this composite policy shift in Northeast and Southeast Asia, Russia, and Europe"--
