Summary:

Across the political spectrum, there is wide agreement that Asia should stand at the centre of US foreign policy. But this worldview, first represented in the Obama Administration's 2011 'Pivot to Asia,' marks a dramatic departure from the entire history of American grand strategy. More than a decade on, we now have the perspective to evaluate it in depth. In 'Lost Decade', Robert Blackwill & Richard Fontaine, two eminent figures in American foreign policy, take this long view. They conclude that while the Pivot's strategic logic is strong, there are few successes to speak of, & that we need a far more coherent approach to the Indo-Pacific region. They examine the Pivot through various lenses: situating it historically in the context of America's global foreign policy, revealing the inside story of how it came about, assessing the effort thus far, & identifying the ramifications in other regions.
