Opportunities and Challenges in the Indo-Asia-Pacific Region

Abstract

This Task Force focuses on three key areas that U.S. policies have to address in order to capitalize on opportunities and meet challenges in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region: 1. Political issues that require the U.S. to increase its presence in the region through deeper engagement with regional concerns; 2. Economic issues that call for the U.S. to expand its economic stakes and face the growing challenge posed by China’s expanding investments and projects in the region; and 3. Security issues that require the U.S. to counter China’s presence in the region and across the globe.
