Morrison (Note: This commentary originally appeared in The Honolulu Star-Advertiser on July 1, 2010) In 1960, the year the East-West Center was founded by Congress to promote understanding and cooperation in the Asia Pacific region, Americans largely regarded the region as significant as the secondary Cold War theater after Europe. Today, economic and resources issues dominate U.S.-Asia-Pacific relations, a consequence of the region’s rapid economic growth. Excluded from many international organizations in 1960, China, India, Indonesia, Japan and Korea are major voices at the G-20, the world’s premier international economic institution. Full Article

(May 14) – The Asia Pacific region is starting to see the effects of various stimulus packages, but a long road still lies ahead before the global economy recovers, experts said at the annual General Meeting of the Pacific Economic Cooperation Council, hosted this week by the East-West Center in Washington.

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.

Morrison (Note: This commentary originally appeared in the Honolulu Star-Advertiser on Sept. 12, 2012) It may not compare to APEC or the G-20 for global economic weight, but for the Pacific island nations, the annual Pacific Islands Forum summit is the premier regional meeting. It brings together heads of the island nations (including Australia and New Zealand) with representatives of international organizations and “dialogue partners,” including the United States, China, Japan and many others. For the Cook Islands, with less than 15,000 residents, hosting last week’s PIF was a rare event made especially significant by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s unprecedented stop to attend the post-meeting partner dialogue – the highest level U.S. participation ever.
