U.S. Policy Towards Southeast Asia

Greater East Asia is expected to be the next theatre for world politics. 1 East Asian cooperation is rapidly developing through the channels of ASEAN Plus Three （APT） and East Asia Summit （EAS）, both driven by ASEAN. Southeast Asia is a region of diverse states and cultures that brings together all the major powers of the Asian-Pacific in a myriad of strategic interests. It is thus an open arena with the potential for a variety of strategic game-playing, options, and uncertain outcomes.2 In recent years, China＇s developing relationship with Southeast Asia has undergone a significant shift as the U.S.＇ distraction elsewhere and neglect of the region have created opportunities for an increased Chinese diplomatic and economic role in Southeast Asia.3 U.S. analysts are concerned about what may lie behind this shift in China-ASEAN relations, how it may affect American interests in the region and how best to react to the changes. Some have expressed concerns that to avoid becoming distanced from the region the U.S. should pay more attention to Southeast Asia, rather than just watching from a distance. This paper attempts to analyze the possible changes of U.S. policy towards Southeast Asia in the current context of East Asian Cooperation and its implications for China.

The New Situation of Re-balance in the Asian-Pacific Region and Its Prospect
The Asian-Pacific region is the center of world growth and is in the process of power ＂re-balancing＂. The return of the U. S. to East Asia is the result of power structural change within the region rather than the initial motivation. All the variables emerged from the development process in East Asia requested that the power centers within the region design a regional security framework together. China has responded positively to such request and taken it as first priority in her policy toward the Asian-Pacific region to prevent the intensification of disputes and the outbreak of large scale military conflicts. But, under the present circumstances of continuing power structure change, China is faced with tremendous challenges, the biggest of which may come from Japan, in reaching her goals.

Multilateral Cooperation and Bilateral Alliance

Around 2030, the bilateral alliance system dominated by the United States and the multilateral cooperation system advocated by China will exist side by side in East Asia.
