4 4 America s Definitions of Asia and the Pacific Americans have never had a consistent definition of Asia and the Pacific. Their conceptions of the region have been influenced by European ideas, breakthroughs in map-making and racial stereotypes, among other factors. America s definitions of Asia for policy purposes mainly diplomacy and defense have usually been shaped not by grand strategy but by bureaucratic battles and ad hoc decisions of key officials. Today, US policy increasingly sees an interlinking of interests across the broad expanse from South Asia through East Asia to the Western Pacific. Official statements describe the East Asian littoral running from the Sea of Japan to the Bay of Bengal or, more simply, the Indo-Pacific region. The Asia Matters for America initiative has adopted an interpretative definition of Asia to encompass 4 countries, from Afghanistan to the Pacific islands.

13 4 85 Sister Partnerships Between the US and Asia Build Civic and People-to-People Relationships The first US sister city partnership in Asia was formed between St. Paul, Minnesota, and Nagasaki, Japan, on December 7, 1955, the fourteenth anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Since then, sister cities have engaged in cultural, educational, informational and trade exchanges. In response to the March 11 earthquake and tsunami disasters in Japan, 95 US communities raised $.4 million for affected sister cities and their partners. Sister city partnerships are municipal partnerships between US cities, counties, ports and similar jurisdictions in Asia. There are also 88 sister relationships between US states and provinces/ prefectures across Asia. Many, but not all, sister cities are members of Sister Cities International, which assists in the matching process, and supports new and established sister cities. Most of Michigan s 35 sister city partnerships in Asia are with Japan, due to the 1968 Sister State Agreement with Shiga prefecture. Many partnerships have featured middleschool student exchanges or student artwork swaps. In addition, an annual Goodwill Mission features sightseeing and homestays. Bakersfield, CA, and Bucheon City, South Korea, have a young but active sister city partnership. This relationship was officially signed in 6. Students from both cities have made reciprocal visits, including a Korean dance troupe performance at California State University and a concert by members of the Bakersfield Youth Symphony in Bucheon.

14 6 In US$ Billions Asia s Security Significance for the US is Rising Asia is an area of potential conflict due to territorial disputes, historical animosities and changes in the distribution of power. Asian countries are also emerging (or reemerging) as regional and global powers. They will have a crucial role in meeting such global challenges as equitable economic growth, environmental pollution, pandemic disease, climate change and global governance. The US, with long-standing treaty commitments and new partnerships in Asia, is devoting more attention and resources to Asia. The US is working with regional groupings, including the East Asia Summit (EAS), Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) and Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) to address regional problems Asia 11.4 Africa 9.1 World (Other) 6.4 Middle East 3.

The United States and Japan work closely together on a wide range of security issues including nuclear nonproliferation, the Korean Peninsula, freedom of navigation, and a ballistic missile defense system. Korea: The 1953 Mutual Defense Treaty forms the foundation of the Korea-US alliance, which the White House recently characterized as a linchpin of regional stability and prosperity. Dealing with North Korea remains the central challenge facing the alliance. Australia: The alliance between the United States and Australia is based on the 195 Australia, New Zealand, and United States (ANZUS) security treaty. Military personnel from Australia have fought alongside US forces in every major conflict since WWII. In 11, the two countries expanded collaboration on security issues in Asia. ZEALAND Philippines: The Mutual Defense Treaty signed in 1951 forms the basis of the alliance between the United States and the Philippines. The 11 signing of the Manila Declaration and the inaugural United States-Philippines Ministerial Dialogue in 1 laid the groundwork for increased cooperation on issues ranging from counterterrorism to maritime security.
