New York launch of Asia Alone: The Dangerous Post-Crisis Divide from America

Featuring:
Simon Tay, Chairman, Singapore Institute of International Affairs

Jamie Metzl, Asia Society Executive Vice President

Asia divided from America. This is something many hope will not happen. Some deny it is happening at all. But such a division is increasingly probable argues Simon Tay, author of Asia Alone: The Dangerous Post-Crisis Divide from America. In a lucidly written and thought-provoking book, Tay highlights the accelerating trends that point to Asia increasingly
going on its own path, without America. He then describes fundamental changes and new policy directions that America and Asia should undertake to avoid this outcome and move the relationship forward.

The geopolitics of Asia will play an increasingly central role in global affairs. Simon Tay is one the most intelligent and reliable guides to the region.

Nowhere are the changes taking place in the world more evident than in Asia, where the United States has vital security interests and faces a rising China. Simon Tay's stimulating book expertly frames the issues in ways that will be helpful to policy makers and informed readers alike.
