US strategic culture and alliances in the Indo-Pacific, 2001-2024 -- Chapter 2: The emergence of the San Francisco System, 1951-2001 -- Chapter 3: George W.

From the San Fransisco System to the Quad Plus -- Chapter 7: Conclusions: The Pacific Dream Revisited.  aThis book analyses America’s alliances and strategic culture in the Indo-Pacific, from the Presidency of George W. Bush to Joe Biden. It advances the notion of the ‘Pacific Dream’, an American vision for Indo-Pacific integration. Its historical chapter covers the period from 1951 to 2001, presenting the reader with the evolution of Washington’s most successful Indo-Pacific alliance network, the San Francisco System. The chapters that follow analyse every presidency from 2001 onward, focusing on defining the Pacific Dream and arguing that the San Francisco System is becoming outdated and slowly replaced by formats like the Quad, Quad Plus, or AUKUS. There is particular attention given to the growing importance American allies have in Washington’s Pacific Dream and strategic culture. A case is made that American strategic culture is blending with concepts from allied strategic cultures, such as Japan, Australia, or South Korea. Alin Barbantan graduated with a PhD in US foreign policy from the Institute of the Americas at University College London. He has expertise in US international relations in the Indo-Pacific region as well as experience in the Romanian NGO and government sectors. 0aSecurity, International.958210 0aInternational relations.958103 0aInternational organization.14aInternational Security Studies.96956024aInternational Relations Theory.96830324aInternational Organization.2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303164560008iPrinted edition:z978303164562408iPrinted edition:z9783031645631 0aStudies of the Americas97089840uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-64561-7  aZDB-2-POS  aZDB-2-SXPI  c62443d62443
