Present at the Asian Creation
Asia’s economic dynamism is beginning to find a parallel in the region’s diplomacy, particularly where security is concerned. This is a response not only to China’s rise, but also to the gaping hole in Asia’s security architecturethat will be left when America and the West remove their troops from Afghanistan, without first having established peace there.

NEW DELHI – Asia’s economic dynamism is beginning to find a parallel in the region’s diplomacy, particularly where security is concerned. Indeed, we may now be “present at the creation,” as former US Secretary of State Dean Acheson called his memoir, which described the construction of the post-World War II global security order. This time, what is being created is a security order for Asia that reflects its newfound primacy in world affairs, though what that order will ultimately look like remains to be determined.
