ABOUT THE BOOK

fjrigjwwe9r0pp_Books:Description
The ``Pivot to Asia`` strategy qualifies to be called Obama Doctrine: a part of Obama`s ``grand strategy``. This policy may radically redefine not only the US engagement with Asia but also the Asian strategic dynamics. The initiative is packaged comprehensively and has all the necessary components of a strategy, namely military, political, economic and ideological. The strategy may also be seen as an attempt to address the China challenge, or the China dilemma, given its critical role on a number of issues in the region and its growing military modernisation. This book looks at various facets of the pivot strategy, to include US, Chinese, regional and country specific perspectives with an aim of providing greater clarity and understanding.
