It's Friday and I’ve developed a tradition of closing the week with a recommendation to a blog or other internet resource that will help my readers gain insight into world affairs. Today I’d like to recommend the blog of the Asia Policy Debate 2008. According to their about statement:
The purpose of this site is to promote NBR's Asia Policy Debate 2008: The Next President's Strategy for Engagement, to be held September 22 at the National Press Club in Washington, DC, between top foreign policy advisors to the presidential candidates, and to encourage discussion of American foreign policy in the Asia-Pacific more generally. From this site you can get updated information about the debate including the webcast, request an invitation, suggest an Asia policy-related debate question, and post comments.
I like that list of post categories includes a link to posts specifically about U.S. Policy in Asia. Other posts deal with Asia in the News, Economic Issues, Energy Issues, Environmental Issues, and Security Issues. Two category areas are devoted to the upcoming election and feature posts on Where the Candidates Stand and Your Top 10 Debate Questions. If you are interested in the foreign policy of the next President in general and Asia policy in particular, I recommend this blog as a starting point.
