Renewing the Pacific Partnership

Renewing the Pacific Partnership

Charles E. Morrison

Peter A. Petri

By Charles E. Morrison and Peter A. Petri

In key economic areas, Asia is about to overtake the United States.

Unhappily, this sea change in the global economic picture is happening just as the climate of U.S. relations with this surging region is cooling. The United States and Asia have yet to find a way to cooperate effectively on any significant global issue.

In short, the chemistry of the Asia-U.S. relationship is failing. While government-to-government relations have been positive, public attitudes have soured.

Renewing American Ideals in Asia

By M. Osman Siddique
Member, EWC Board of Governors 

Note: This commentary originally appeared in Singapore's Straits Times on Dec. 23, 2011.

As President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton recently observed, a major focus of American attention in the coming decades will be to expand and deepen American relationships with the Asia-Pacific region. Approximately 40 per cent of America’s export earnings are generated in Asia, and the region is poised to be the United States’ fastest growing market. The economic growth in Asia is shifting the overall architecture of the global economy – and the U.S. must play a decisive role in shaping Asia’s direction and significantly increase America’s participation in this new global economy.
