Security Policy in SEA

[cornell7@pilot.msu.edu (Erik Cornellier)]

There have been rumblings concerning whether security poicy would be a good
area for topic limitation.  Some have asserted that the US military posture
in the region is not very important, and that the literature base would be
sparse.

In everything that I have read since the topic area has been released, the
importance of the presence of the US military in the region has been
stressed.  I find it interesting that in the first four books that I have
perused, each had something to say about this issue.

I don't know if it is the best area for debate on this topic, but it
certainly isn't unimportant in the region as some have claimed.  I believe
that US security policy in Southeast Asia could has vast potential as an
action limitation.  It should at least be considered in any resolution that
allows multiple foreign policy choices (ie... one or more of the following:
security policy, trade policy, human rights policy...you get my drift).
