United States national security is inextricably tied to the Asia-Pacific region. Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the continuing struggle against terrorism may have pushed some Asian security concerns off the nightly news, but events – North Korean nuclear tests, concerns over U.S. dependence on consumer products from China, and the outsourcing of American high-technology jobs to India, just to name a few – remind us of the importance of maintaining strong and effective partnerships in Asia.
