DESCRIPTION:The 2016 election campaign has revealed mounting skepticism on economic and 
 trade issues, including the Trans-Pacific Partnership; security, such as on 
 the Korean peninsula; ASEAN and other regional institutions; the new South 
 Asian geopolitical landscape and the rise of China; anxiety about an 
 American withdrawal from Afghanistan; maritime law; and other 
 non-traditional security issues. Across the Pacific, Asian leaders are 
 deeply concerned about America’s long-term support and Washington’s 
 political will to sustain its long-standing international security 
 commitments.\n\nMost Asian nations want the United States to continue its 
 long-standing, strategic balancing role, but they also welcome a rising 
 China that can spur economic growth and development. Can the countries of 
 the region have both without generating conflict and instability? And if 
 so, how? The next US president must skillfully navigate these and other 
 complex issues in Asia and immediately devote high level attention to the 
 region, according to a forthcoming policy report by The Asia 
 Foundation.\n\nSlated for release in November, Asian Views on America’s 
 Role in Asia presents policy recommendations for the incoming 
 administration. Hear from prominent Asian and American public policy 
 experts and former government officials with deep insight into the past 
 record of US-Asian relations and the Obama Administration’s ongoing 
 initiatives. For more than six decades, and across 18 countries in Asia, 
 The Asia Foundation’s networks and comprehensive development programs 
 provide access to a wide range of US and Asian leaders, both inside and 
 outside of government, who can provide these perspectives.\n\nJoin us for 
 this luncheon and timely discussion on Asia’s future and America’s 
 role.\n\nThis event is co-sponsored with The Asia 
 Foundation.\n\nSPEAKERS\n\nC. Raja Mohan\nFounding Director, India Centre 
 at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace\n\nThitinan
