Michael Auslin is a resident scholar and the directorof Japan Studies at the American Enterprise Institut

(AEI), where he studies Asian regional security andpolitical issues.A new era of global disorder is emerging, marked

most notably by Russia's invasion of Ukraine and thIslamic State's murderous rampage through Syria

and Iraq. Yet while Asia appears relatively pacific,underlying tensions and great power revisionismthreaten its stability. From Hong Kong to North

Korea, the nations of Asia along with the UnitedStates must strive to preserve stability and create aliberal community of values. Whether Washington

has the ability, energy, or interest to do so is an opequestion.

Before joining AEI, he was an associate professor ofhistory at Yale University. A prolific writer, Auslin is

a biweekly columnist for The Wall Street Journal
