IRLS430  - U.S. National Security and the Pacific Basin

U.S. national security policy recognizes this element of the international security environment and anticipates that American involvement in Asia will likely increase over time, making alliances and relationships in this region even more important. This course will highlight the changes in these interests and the actions that these and other states in the region take to advance or, when necessary, defend them and, therefore influence U.S. national security strategy and policy as well as the forces that support them.
