- Summary:
- "America's Taiwan Dilemma: Allies' Reactions and the Stakes for US Reputation offers a rigorous open-source analysis of how America's key allies-Japan, South Korea, and Australia-would respond to US intervention or inaction in a Taiwan conflict. Drawing on over 100 interviews with experts from Japan, South Korea, Australia, Taiwan, and the United States, it examines how domestic politics, threat perceptions, and regional dynamics shape allied expectations of Washington. The study explores the implications for US credibility, alliances, and deterrence strategies across the Indo-Pacific. By analyzing allies' perspectives-sometimes contradictory but pragmatic-the book identifies both shared concerns and divergent interests. It assesses how US policy choices toward Taiwan may strengthen or strain alliances amid rising tensions with China. Providing critical insights into East Asian security and alliance management, this study addresses the future of US reputation and regional stability in a rapidly evolving strategic environment"-- Provided by publisher.
