奥巴马政府已经着手重新平衡对亚洲的政策，最近几个月来，军事、经济、贸易、人权和外交方面的细节相继出笼。奥巴马总统亲口断言，在今后很多年中，美国将在亚洲扮演领导者的角色。尽管这一政策并非都是新的，但其中一些独特之处足以令人对其可行性和可能产生的影响，尤其是对美中关系的影响，做一番深入的考究。
华盛顿智囊团布鲁金斯学会2012年1月31日召开研讨会，邀请老资格的中国问题专家讨论“如何理解美国重返亚洲”的问题。这次讨论有两个重点：一个是美国在亚洲驻军的演变，另一个是泛太平洋伙伴关系在经济和贸易方面的发展。
中国作为亚洲首屈一指的新兴大国，面对美国把战略重心向亚洲转移，会做出什么反应？美国重返亚洲，对于正在谋求世界领袖地位的北京当局了来说，意味着什么？美中两国在军事、经济、贸易、人权和外交等各方面展开博弈，亚洲其他国家能从中得到什么呢？

Understanding the U.S. Pivot to Asia
The Obama administration has adopted a policy of rebalancing toward Asia and in recent months has detailed this in military, economic and trade, human rights and diplomatic initiatives. President Barack Obama has personally affirmed that the U.S. will play a leadership role in Asia for many years to come. While this set of policies is not entirely new, it is sufficiently distinctive as a package to warrant examination as to its feasibility and likely impact.
