Title: Strategic Aspects of Asian-American Relations in the 1980s,
Abstract: Abstract : The soundest basis for Asian-American security relations in the 1980s is the proverbial middle road: an increase in the visible military presence of the United States in the Western Pacific and in the Indian Ocean, a strengthening of defense cooperation with Japan, meaningful levels of bilateral military assistance to five countries of the ASEAN group, emphatic assertion of the special relationships with the Philippines and South Korea, and sustained efforts to help China modernize without becoming a threatening military giant. In the setting created by such policies, Soviet hegemonial aspirations of Vietnamese regional delusions of grandeur will not be able to blossom.
