Does Asia Really Matter for Americans?: Poll Results from the American Public and Elite Perspectives
The East-West Center has produced an illuminating poll report and analysis comparing US public and elite opinion at the state and local levels regarding America’s interactions with the Indo-Pacific region. Questions addressed in this survey include issues pertaining to economy, security, politics, people-to-people connections as well as to what extent Americans believe Asia matters to the United States. In this webinar, Dr. Satu Limaye will present the findings of this report, and panelists will discuss the results of this poll and compare them to their own research. Dr. Richard Wike will provide comments on America’s global image and how the report’s findings compare with global views of the United States, and Dr. James Kim will provide insight into regional attitudes and interest towards American perspectives on Asia and the Indo-Pacific.
