US Foreign policy and implications for Asia and the Pacific: View of regional scholars

The two authors give us a brief survey of the different views expressed at the annual Asia-Pacific Roundtable held from 31 May to 5 June 2009 in Kuala Lumpur. The atmosphere is that of cautious optimism when scholars assess the changes in US foreign policy when Obama became President. Some even spoke of a new era in international relations. However, others said this does not mean a vast improvement in Asia and the Pacific as the new has not definitely formed yet, the US is in deep economic crisis, and US approaches in foreign policy are still characterized by leadership role rather than partnership.

For Asia and the Pacific, the US is likely to enhance its cooperation with the region, particularly with Japan, China and ASEAN. In the meantime, many others talked of decoupling in the relations between the US and Asia. Many see US-ASEAN relations as a passive US reaction to better relations between the region and China. The region lacks an all-region security mechanism as such a mechanism is difficult to cover all security issues, traditional and non-traditional and should not be eliminatory and hierarchal. In the final analysis, security mechanism should be placed in US influence and the role of the US for regional security is still very important.
