Abstract

Prospects for a U.S. decline in global power generated by political strife and protracted economic recession at home have affected Washington's regional diplomatic presence and strategic influence in the Asia-Pacific. Ongoing regional power politics and economic imperatives may constrain the ability of the U.S. to quickly recover from the largely self-imposed damage it has inflicted on its future role as a central regional player.
