China And The U.S Pivot To Asia: The Strategic Challenges

A Dinner Meeting With And Presentation By Dr. Michael O’Hanlon, Visiting Fellow, The Brookings Institution, Washington DC will be held on 25 March 2014

Las Vegas, Nev. – Dr. Michael O’ Hanlon will discuss how the current Administration has set out to shift the major focus of U.S. diplomatic and military engagement from the broader Middle East to the Asia/Pacific region, mainly in reaction to the emergence of China as a major economic and military power with global reach and aspirations. The process is fraught with difficulties and fast-changing conditions and conflicts in both areas.

Dr. O’Hanlon is Director of Research for the Foreign Policy Program at Brookings, as well as a visiting lecturer at Princeton University and adjunct professor at Johns Hopkins University. He recently co-wrote Bending History: Barack Obama’s Foreign Policy, and the forthcoming Strategic Reassurance and Resolve: U.S. China Relations in the Twenty-first Century.
