Lost Decade - The U.S. Pivot to Asia and the Rise of Chinese Power with Richard Fontaine
Richard Fontaine, CEO of the Center for a New American Security, joins Coffee & Conflict to discuss his book The U.S. Pivot to Asia and the Rise of Chinese Power. He dives into the historic shift in U.S. foreign policy toward Asia, and evaluates its successes and shortcomings more than a decade later. He also explores why the Indo-Pacific is now central to global power dynamics, how the U.S. can craft a more coherent approach to the region, and what it means for American security and the future of the international order.
