Abstract : This extensive work covers a large amount of theoretical territory, beginning with the emergence of the United States as a world power in the mid-nineteenth century, and its inevitable foray into the Asia-pacific region. The following subjects are then discussed: the definition and status of "Asian-American"; the economic difficulties involved in doing business with countries in the Asia-pacific region; the three major Asia-pacific wars (WWII, Korea, and Vietnam), in which the United States participated; the forward deployment and military presence of the United States since the end of WWII; the idea of liberal internationalism, and the specific relations to Japan, mainland China, Korea and Taiwan, as well as taking part in the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC). The last chapter focuses on policy recommendations and predictions.
