> SUMMARY
>
> While the United States has embarked on a program of "strategic
> rebalancing," looming fiscal concerns will have large-scale consequences
> for the U.S. role in the Asia-Pacific. Consequently, U.S. decision-makers
> face the difficult task of both addressing current financial realities and
> implementing an ambitious new strategic agenda for the region.
>
> In this NBR Analysis Brief, Michael C. Horowitz, Associate Professor of
> Political Science at the University of Pennsylvania, discusses how
> conditions of defense austerity may make it more difficult for the United
> States to achieve its security objectives. He argues that, whether or not
> sequestration occurs, Washington needs to ensure funding for programs
> critical to achieving strategic success in the Asia-Pacific over the long
> term, not just in the next few years.
