SCHEDULE CHANGE: Class will run from March 20 through May 1, 2018. This is a change from the schedule printed in our catalog and other printed information.

“Pivot to Asia” was a dramatic statement of U.S. strategic interests in Asia, where American military dominance is being challenged by China, the area’s growing superpower. The statement sent a clear message that America intends to maintain its dominance of the region. But is this a realistic U.S. objective? This course will argue that it is not.

Former Vice-President Joseph Biden famously said that no one ever won money gambling against the United States. This class will have an opportunity to test if this famous quotation is relevant to the?U.S./China relationship in the 21st Century.

Barring last-minute scheduling issues, prominent persons from the policy and academic world will be guest speakers during this course.
