Follow the Leader, Lose the Region

As competition among the traditional great powers in the Asia region intensifies, Canada faces a stark choice: Should it align its foreign policy with the US-led free and open Indo-Pacific strategy? Shared values give Canada a clear incentive to follow the lead of the United States and Western-aligned democracies, but Jeffrey Reeves presents the case for a foreign policy based on understanding how Asia sees itself. He draws on Asian sources to demonstrate Western misunderstandings of regional developments and to outline alternative, regionally based policy options. Follow the Leader, Lose the Region urges the Canadian government to pivot away from the policies of its Western allies in order to chart an independent course that better serves its interests.
Jeffrey Reeves is vice president of research and strategy for the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada. He has served as director of Asian Studies at the United States Army War College and as an instructor at Peking University in the People’s Republic of China. His works include Chinese–Japanese Competition and the East Asian Security Complex: Vying for Influence and Chinese Foreign Relations with Weak Peripheral States: Asymmetrical Economic Power and Insecurity.
