Given to this, and becauseof growing power of china and increased threat of North Korea, U.S. in recent years hasconcentrated to this region. It's clear manifestation was Asia pivot or rebalancing by Obama'sadministration. But, Donald Trump as elected U.S. new president both in his electioncampaign and after winning the completion, has declared some new principles that are verydifferent from past. Because of this, in this article, we are seeking the answer to thesequestion: is there a new trend in U.S. in relation to Asia Pacific? Do the geostrategic pivot ofWashington in changing? MethodologyWith a descriptive-analytical method, present work try to analyze the limitation andrequirements of U.S. Foreign Policy in contemporary era. FindingsThe significances of Asia pacific for U.S. are:- Presence of U.S. allies in this region;- Growing region Economic contribution in world economy;- China's rising;- North Korea threat;- Taiwan issue;- South and east China sea.American Asia Pivot strategy: Asia pivot is the strategy the U.S. under Obama speciallyfrom 2011 has pursued. The pillars of this strategy are:- Promotion of U.S. alliance system and increase the relations with rising partners- Enforcing institutional and multilateral presence- Enhancing military activity in the region- Trying to promoting the human rights situation in regional countriesThe limitations and opportunities of U.S. declared policy by Trump in AsiaPacific region:Donald Trump has declared some promises that some of them are impossible because of theircosts for American position in international system and its economy and welfare of people.These declared policies by Trump include: increasing tariffs on imported goods from Chinato U.S.; decreasing Washington support of allies; exit from some institutional frameworksuch as TPP and … .This study for analyzing this issue has focused on behavioral requirements of a pole inunipolar system. For keeping the status quo, U.S. as the only pole in international systemshould maintains its alliances with regional power to balance against a growing power. Inaddition to this, increasing tariff against Chinese goods causes retaliation from china. This,also can increase the prices of goods in U.S.. Moreover, retreating from T.P.P leads toincrease in China's regional and institutional role. It should be noted that contrary to Trumpnaive view, American companies have gone to china because of cheap labors costs, as a resultthey don’t prefer to come back to U.S. even, they prefer to go to cheaper countries such asVietnam. AnalysisGiven to this situation and existence a systemic approach in U.S. establishment on grandstrategy of white house, it seems that Washington maintains its alliances in Asia Pacific,keeps its military presence, and as same as past, U.S. will prefer to continue its relations withChina, so their relation have both elements of conflict and cooperation. In addition, Trumpadministration probably continue American Taiwan past policy, and we don’t see any breakfrom conventional policy. ConclusionIt seems that the U.S. under Trump will follow the major of rules that may maintain theircountry as the salience power in international system. Even if he want to basically change itsforeign policy, the establishment oppose to his approach. Keeping the status quo, trying tomaintain unipolar System that U.S. is its leader, has some requirements that American leadersknow it well.}, keywords = {Geo-strategy,United States,Asia Pacific}, title_fa = {ژئواستراتژی آمریکا در آسیا پاسیفیک؛ تداوم یا تغییر؟}, abstract_fa = {ایالات‌متحده آمریکا به‌عنوان قدرت برتر در نظام بین‌الملل همواره به‌دنبال موازنه‌‌سازی در مناطق مختلف به‌منظور عدم ظهور قدرت همسنگ خود در مناطق مختلف بوده است. پس از حادثه یازده سپتامبر مقابله با تروریسم به محور سیاست خارجی آمریکا و منطقه خاورمیانه نیز به‌عنوان منطقه محوری کنش سیاست خارجی‌این کشور تبدیل شد. اما با افزایش نقش منطقه آسیاپاسیفیک در اقتصاد و امنیت جهانی، باراک اوباما با طرح استراتژی محور آسیایی به‌دنبال اولویت‌‌بخشی به این منطقه در سیاست خارجی ‌این کشور بود. از نمودهای این استراتژی می­توان به تلاش ایالات‌متحده جهت تقویت سیستم اتحادی و افزایش تعاملات با قدرت­های در حال ظهور، تلاش جهت افزایش حضور نظامی، حضور چندجانبه فعال­تر و پیشبرد دمکراسی و حقوق بشر بوده است. اما با توجه به چالش­های پیش‌‌رو و انتخاب ترامپ به‌عنوان رئیس‌جمهور آمریکا سؤالاتی در خصوص تداوم یا تغییر در این استراتژی این کشور مطرح شده است. این پژوهش با توجه به اهمیت آسیاپاسیفیک در اقتصاد، امنیت و سیاست جهان به بررسی پیامدهای مثبت و منفی رویکردهای مطرح شده دولت ترامپ می‌پردازد. با توجه به پیامدهای منفی کاهش حضور، این پژوهش بر این فرض مبتنی است که ایالات‌متحده گرچه همراه با تغییراتی، اما همچنان منطقه آسیاپاسیفیک را یکی از مهمترین اولویت­های سیاست خارجی خود می­داند.  }, keywords_fa = {ژئواستراتژی,ایالات‌متحده آمریکا,آسیا پاسفیک}, url = {https://journal.iag.ir/article_55810.html}, eprint = {https://journal.iag.ir/article_55810_413c1c101582c7b1fd2ffeaec17cc41b.pdf} }
