This is a general survey and introduction to the role of the Soviet Union in the Pacific Basin. It deals broadly with the changing political and geographical roles of the emerging Pacific powers - including China, Japan, and Southeast Asia - and with the impact on Soviet policy. The author poses such questions as "What does the Soviet Union want from the Pacific region?" and "How has Soviet policy towards the Pacific been reformed under Gorbachev?" He stresses that Gorbachev has clearly placed parts of the Pacific region high on his foreign policy agenda and that he has already engineered some major foreign policy triumphs there.
