Prof. Haider A. Khan raised a question that wheather US should reassess its grand strategy and as part of this reassessment change its policy perspective strategically in Asia? Given the current turbulence in global politics and political economy, importance of the US is undeniable. He argued that the US should change its grand strategy from the 1990s, giving up hegemonic practices and working multilaterally in good faith with other nations—particularly the BRICS in order to achieve the twin related goals of global peace and economic prosperity. US policy towards Asia is much more than mere regional policy. As the largest continent on our planet, to a large extent US-Asia relationship holds the key towards the global future for better or worse. US relations with various parts of Asia as well as the overall US-Asia relationship are crucial for any reasonable assessment of various pathways to the global future. It is his hope that reciprocal policies will open the door towards a better planetary future. Part of this changing strategies will be to built the institutions for a hybrid global financial architecture where regional financial architectures can play a crucial role for averting financial and economic crisis. To this end cooperation with East Asian countries of great strategic significance.
