Summary
The author argues that the 21st century will witness a fundamental global shift in economic and military hegemonic power from the U.S.-European sphere to the U.S.-Asia-Pacific region. Considered are the geography, hegemony, politics, the rise of China, and the increasing importance of geostrategic players within the region: Japan, South Korea, and Australia.
