The Pivot to Asia: The Effects

Описание: One of Barack Obama's key foreign policies was the "Pivot to Asia" and this video will explain what the Pivot to Asia involved and how it affects our world today. George W Bush's signature foreign policy was the War on Terror in the Middle East, however the USA had little to show for this and so Obama pivoted America away from the Middle East and towards Asia in an effort to blunt the rapidly rising China.

The video will look at the military alliances America formed throughout the 2010s including Vietnam but also some of the struggles to lockdown alliances like with the Philippines. In the second half of the video, Mr. Mitchell will look at the Trans Pacific Partnership and explore its effects on Asia-Pacific nations and what happened after Donald Trump withdrew from the TPP.

This is the comprehensive yet simple guide on what you need to know about the Pivot to Asia.
