The core of the new strategy is shifting strategy focus to the Southwest Pacific and Indian Ocean and realigning them to a combined new theater. The biggest problem is whether the new strategy would lead to U.S.-China conflict or a more peaceful region. The author argues that the future of security in the Asia-Pacific region will be more dependent on intellectual competition than a raw military power rivalry. Overestimation of the threat, miscalculation, and misjudgment are likely to be the most dangerous challenges. Continuous self-reassurance and mutual reassurance among all the stakeholders in the region are vital to guaranteeing the peace.}, pages = {79--92}, title = {America's New Strategy in the Asia-Pacific}, volume = {8}, year = {2012} }
