Bush. The author traces the responses of the United States government to the major crises in the area through the Cold War decades and the initial post-Cold War years. He demonstrates how the US sought to maintain its dominant regional position through a series of security alliances and its own political, military and economic strengths. Professor Buckley examines the subject from geopolitical perspectives to provide a gateway to the understanding of a complex region certain to be of global importance in the twenty-first century. 607 $aAsia$xPolitics and government$y1945- 607 $aPacific Area$xPolitics and government 607 $aAsia$xRelations$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xRelations$zAsia 607 $aUnited States$xRelations$zPacific Area 607 $aPacific Area$xRelations$zUnited States 676 $a327.7305 700 $aBuckley$b Roger$f1944-$0564736 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910812444003321 996 $aUnited States in the Asia-Pacific since 1945$9954989 997 $aUNINA
