The Indo-Pacific: Trump, China, and the New Struggle for Global Mastery
An Indo-Pacific Foreign Policy and Defense Seminar and Book Discussion featuring:
Mr. Richard Javad Heydarian
Resident Analyst, GMA Network &
Columnist, Philippine Daily Inquirer
Dr. Satu P. Limaye (Moderator)
Vice President, East-West Center &
Director, East West Center in Washington
In his newest book, The Indo-Pacific: Trump, China, and the New Struggle for Global Mastery, Mr. Heydarian placed the presidency of Donald Trump as well as the brewing Sino-American Cold War within the broader historical context of American
hegemony in Asia, which traces its roots to Alfred Thayer Mahan’s call for a naval build up in the Pacific, the subsequent colonization of the Philippines and, ultimately, reaching its apotheosis after the defeat of Imperial Japan in the Second World War. The book, drawing on visits from Cairo to California and Perth to Pyongyang as well as interviews and exchanges with heads of state and senior officials from across the Indo-Pacific, provided an overview of the arc of American primacy in the region for scholars, journalists, and concerned citizens.
The Indo-Pacific: Trump, China, and the New Struggle for Global Mastery is available for purchase through Palgrave Macmillan. It was recently profiled in the Australian Strategic Policy Institute’s (ASPI) The Strategist by Professor Mark Beeson.
