The U.S. and Asia in 1992: a new balance
Article Abstract:
The geopolitical and economic links of theUS with East Asia are examined. Asia will continue to be important for US interests because more than 25% of the world's GNP is produced in the region. In 1991, 27% of the US's exports went to East Asia while 24% of East Asia's exports were sold to the US. The US is downsizing its military presence due in part to the end of the Cold War. Some Asian countries, however, still want the US to maintain a military presence in the region because of concerns that a power vacuum could be destabilizing.

The United States and Asia in 1994
Article Abstract:
Asia remained a dominant force in US foreign policy in 1994. The Clinton administration has warded off an impending crisis in US-Sino relations as it detached international trade from human rights issues. It clinched an agreement with North Korea for it to contain its nuclear program and partially restore relations between the two countries. Its bilateral alliances with Japan and South Korea were also beefed up through negotiations. However, it failed in its effort to curb the deployment of nuclear weapons and missiles in South Asia.

Japan's China policy: implications for U.S.-Japan relations
Article Abstract:
Sino-Japanese relations are as warm and fragile as Sino-US relations but hardly attract any media attention. Yet relations between East Asia's two major powers will substantially influence the future relationship of the US with East Asia. The importance of China to Japan's future carries significant implications for US-Japan relations. The challenge is for the US to acknowledge the geopolitical realities Japan faces in dealing with China. The course of relations between the three powers will do much to define east Asia's future.
