The Asia-Pacific Pivot Is a Zombie Policy

The characterization of the Asia-Pacific Pivot as a 'zombie policy' suggests a critical reassessment of its impact and sustainability. As global power dynamics shift, particularly with the rise of China, the U.S. must evaluate whether this strategy aligns with its long-term objectives in the region. The persistence of the pivot in discussions, despite its waning effectiveness, indicates a reluctance to abandon established frameworks in favor of more adaptive approaches.
