The future of American global influence will be decided in Asia, and India&#8217;s success could be a prerequisite for America&#8217;s long-term position in the region. So President Obama just made a substantial step towards securing U.S. interests in Asia by endorsing India&#8217;s aspiration to greater global and regional influence. He declared today in New Delhi, &#8220;I look forward to a reformed U.N. Security Council that includes India as a permanent member.&#8221; Indians have been waiting for this for a long time.

		<description><![CDATA[On Friday, the UN Security Council came out with a weak statement that failed to assign blame for the attack and sinking of a South Korean naval ship in March. China and Russia declined to participate in an international inquiry, watered down the Security Council statement, and now willfully look the other way as North Korea continues denying its involvement. The Council&#8217;s statement mentioned the results of the internationally-backed inquiry that showed a North Korean torpedo was responsible, but that was all.
Frankly, Korean president Lee Mung-bak failed to take advantage ...]]></description>

Authors: Daniel Michaeli and Joel Backaler.
Monday&#8217;s Strategic and Economic Dialogue between the United States and China provides the Obama administration with an opportunity to forge agreements in a number of areas of crucial significance for both U.S. economic competitiveness and strategic stability in Asia&#8211;but only if U.S. negotiators are willing to give non-headline topics the attention they deserve.
At this time of economic uncertainty, the future of the American economy is firmly linked to the ability of U.S. companies to compete for marketshare in China, the world&#8217;s ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In negotiations between democracies, the atmosphere and public perceptions of the negotiations can matter even more than their paper outcome. In negotiations with Japan over relocating Futenma, the U.S. Marine Corps air station in the middle of Ginowan City, it&#8217;s time for the United States to recognize that. Maintaining an effective relationship with the Japanese public requires a policy change on Futenma relocation.
The U.S. bases much of its presence in Japan on Okinawa, an island strategically located near the Taiwan Strait. The tactical arguments for why the U.S. marines need ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With &#8220;a battalion of security guards and female dining companions&#8221; aboard his train, North Korea&#8217;s leader arrived in China today en-route to Beijing. Kim Jong-il finds himself increasingly under pressure for the sinking of South Korea&#8217;s Cheonan in March, isolated by international sanctions, and still reeling from having angered much of North Korea&#8217;s elite with last year&#8217;s currency fiasco.
So Kim would probably be grateful for just about anything Beijing will give him. And reports suggest China has lots of goodies to offer, in exchange for access to minerals and ports ...]]></description>

Author: Daniel Michaeli
Presentation to the Young Professionals in Foreign Policy grand strategy and South Asia discussion groups at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, Washington, DC.
My presentation began with the economic relationship between India and China, including exploring relative shares of world trade, the goods that are traded bilaterally, and trade contribution to GDP. I spoke about the bilateral political relationship, including a commitment to preventing excessive escalation and the recognition of converging interests on key global issues. After going over security concerns each country faces, I ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today&#8217;s excellent Foreign Policy article by Dan Sneider and Richard Katz attempts to make sense of Japanese PM Hatoyama&#8217;s concept of an &#8220;East Asian Community.&#8221; This is an article well worth reading. The main argument: just because Japan is looking more towards Asia does not mean that Japan is distancing itself from the United States. Indeed, the U.S. has encouraged Japan to take on a more assertive regional profile in the past. The region is changing, and it is to be expected that the U.S.-Japan alliance will need to change ...]]></description>
