During the Cold War, the U.S. built a series of alliances with Asian nations to erect a bulwark against the spread of communism and provide security to the region. Despite pressure to end bilateral alliances in the post-Cold War world, they persist to this day, even as new multilateral institutions have sprung up around them. The resulting architecture may aggravate rivalries as the U.S., China, and others compete for influence. However, Andrew Yeo demonstrates how Asia's complex array of bilateral and multilateral agreements may ultimately bring greater stability and order to a region fraught with underlying tensions. Asia's Regional Architecture transcends traditional international relations models. It investigates change and continuity in Asia through the lens of historical institutionalism. Refuting claims regarding the demise of the liberal international order, Yeo reveals how overlapping institutions can promote regional governance and reduce uncertainty in a global context. In addition to considering established institutions such as the Association of Southeast Asian Nations and the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation, he discusses newer regional arrangements including the East Asia Summit, Trans-Pacific Partnership, and the Belt and Road Initiative. This book has important implications for how policymakers think about institutional design and regionalism in Asia and beyond.

President Richard M. Nixon’s dreams of global stability through the construction of a triangular balance of power among the world’s superpowers reached fruition as he descended Air Force One in Beijing on February 21, 1972. His visit to China signaled a revolutionary change in Sino-American relations, but it also placed an effective check on the U.S. chief global rival: the Soviet Union. This case study recounts Nixon’s dogged pursuit of a brash initiative that allowed him to exert the maximum influence of his office and secure his place in the history of world politics.

This case study examines the negotiations between the United States and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea that resolved the September 1996 incursion of a North Korean submarine into South Korean waters, leaving more than a dozen South Korean civilians and soldiers dead, along with the sub’s crew. The case demonstrates the unique nature of three-party talks where only two parties sit at the table, and offers important insights into the interagency process of U.S. diplomacy. Written by a member of the U.S. negotiating team, the study looks at how far a negotiator can push the interagency process.
