11/18 at 1:00 pm, ET – Is America's Oldest Asian Security Alliance Ending? with David Rosenberg
A crisis is brewing between the U.S. and the Philippines. Philippine President Duterte sees that U.S. influence in the region is waning, while China is becoming more aggressive. He is concerned that the U.S. is not living up to its end of the Mutual Defense Treaty between the two countries and is charting a slow, but steady, course away from the U.S. – and toward China. Are there any options for averting the end of America's oldest strategic alliance in Asia?
~ David Rosenberg is Professor Emeritus of Political Science at Middlebury College and an international specialist in this geo-political area.
