The Asia Foundation
The 2016 U.S. elections have emerged as a signal moment in the evolution of America’s engagement with the world and its commitment to the international order that it was instrumental in building. At the same time, with 60 percent of the world’s population and some of the world’s fastest-growing economies, Asia’s rising strategic importance cannot be denied.
The Asia Foundation report is formulated as a set of strategic recommendations—including a concise top 10—for the new administration on U.S. foreign policy priorities in Asia. These are:
- Maintain a strong American presence in the Asia Pacific
- Support Asian regional architecture
- Ratify TPP
- Rethink U.S. strategy on the Korean peninsula
- Pursue a balanced approach towards China
- Ratify UN Convention on the Law of the Sea
- Work with India to address South Asian security
- Do not abandon Afghanistan
- Play a leading role in nontraditional security
- Continue to project American “soft power”
