Abstract
THE upcoming United States presidential election matters to Asia because how the two candidates view the world are starkly at odds. Democrat Barack Obama wants the US to get more comfortable with multilateralism and to strike an effective balance between pragmatism and idealism. Republican John McCain envisions a world of multipolarity and geopolitical competition. The stakes for regional security in Asia could not be higher.
