Why America is Losing the Plot in Asia

EVAN A. FEIGENBAUM, ASHOK KANTHA

Summary: In recent years, America's leading role in Asia has been challenged by the deepening cooperation among Asian states, and particularly the emergence of Asian-led initiatives and institutions to develop connectivity and foster strategic cooperation.

The United States has long played a leading role in Asia through its network of security alliances and the economic influence of U.S.-led Bretton Woods financial institutions. In recent years, however, this has been challenged by the deepening cooperation among Asian states, and particularly the emergence of Asian-led initiatives and institutions to develop connectivity and foster strategic cooperation. Will the United States be a passive spectator to Asia’s ongoing transformation, or can U.S. policy adapt to a changing Asia?

Join us for a conversation between Evan A. Feigenbaum and Ashok Kantha, as they discuss whether the United States is losing the plot in Asia, and the implications that this will have for the existing global order. The discussion will be moderated by Rudra Chaudhuri, and followed by a Q&A session.
