Book Description:

There are important reasons for the distinct yet significant course adjustments in American and Western foreign policy, which is currently focused on the Middle Eastern and Chinese "hot spots". In early 2012, the United States "pivoted" to make the Far East its military and strategic first priority, thereby downgrading the Middle East. Amitai Etzioni argues that pivoting towards the Far East is premature and flawed in principle.
