This chapter analyses the legacy of the Pivot to Asia on the processes of region-building in the Asia-Paci fi c region, looking at the normative content, geo- graphic shape and competition for leadership associated with them. The strategy of rebalancing aimed to consolidate a Trans-Pacific form of regional order, rooted in Washington ’ s leadership and free market capitalism, and attempted to prevent the rise of Sino-centric regional order, based on Chinese leadership and “ State capi- talist ” practices. The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TTP) represented a key pillar of that strategy. The chapter concludes that a reversal of the strategy of rebalancing, particularly in the realm of regional economic governance, might lead to a pro- gressive decline of the American in fl uence in the region.

Abstract
This chapter analyses the legacy of the Pivot to Asia on the processes of region-building in the Asia-Paci fi c region, looking at the normative content, geo- graphic shape and competition for leadership associated with them. The strategy of rebalancing aimed to consolidate a Trans-Pacific form of regional order, rooted in Washington ’ s leadership and free market capitalism, and attempted to prevent the rise of Sino-centric regional order, based on Chinese leadership and “ State capi- talist ” practices. The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TTP) represented a key pillar of that strategy. The chapter concludes that a reversal of the strategy of rebalancing, particularly in the realm of regional economic governance, might lead to a pro- gressive decline of the American in fl uence in the region.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
