Summary
This document is page 23 of a geopolitical analysis written by Dominique Moisi. It discusses the necessity for the United States to pivot its strategic focus from the Middle East to Asia, referencing Henry Kissinger's book 'On China' and the concept of a 'Pacific Community.' The text argues that while the US cannot ignore the Middle East (citing Arab revolutions and Iran), the future lies in Asia, and the US must improve its domestic economic health to accept a changing global status.

too much attention to the Middle East, and too little to Asia – must embrace a shift in priorities.
Of course, in the midst of today’s ongoing Arab revolutions, America cannot simply ignore the Middle East. Nor must the US give up hope on the Israel-Palestine front, or on its efforts to contain Iran’s nuclear ambitions. But it is in Asia that history is unfolding – and where the US must define its long-term global strategy.
Must the US, as Henry Kissinger suggests in his latest book On China, consider the prospect of a “Pacific Community” that, unlike the Cold War-era Atlantic Community, is not based on common culture and values in the face of a direct threat, but on common interests in an “age of rebalancing of world order”?
America’s resilience may contrast with Europe’s multiple weaknesses. But resilience will not be enough. The US must get back into shape to face tomorrow’s challenges, and that means restoring economic growth, reducing deficits, and improving infrastructure. Paradoxically, only a more confident America can accept a reduced global status, because reconciling oneself to change is always easier once one has taken the steps needed to adjust to it.
