| Summary/Abstract |
The Pacific will be the dominant international arena in the 21st century. The United States' goal in dealing with an increasingly complex region will be to preserve the operating system that has allowed massive development in the region over the last five decades. It is a region that faces major challenges and its response will be critical to dealing effectively with the existential threat posed by climate change and other transnational threats. Before addressing these problems, the Biden administration is focused initial on domestic concerns, restoring the economy and healing divisions, but it values bilateral relations with likeminded states like New Zealand.
