Despite being in office for little more than a year, the Bush administration has made major changes in the country's Asia policy. Harry Harding traced the ever-evolving Asia policy of the Bush administration from the forced landing of the EP-3 on Hainan Island, to the need to court Asia after Sept 11, 2001, to the fine-tuning of relations during the Bush visit to Japan, Korea and China, in February 2002.

Professor of Political Science, author of prize-winning books on China and U.S.-China relations, and a member of the board of The Asia Foundation, Harding is one of America's pre-eminent experts on Asia and U.S.-Asian relations. A former Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institute, Dean Harding offers courses at George Washington University on Chinese politics and foreign policy, international relations of East Asia, and cross-cultural relations between the U.S. and Asia.

His principal publications include: "A Fragile Relationship: The United States and China Since 1972" (1992), "China's Second Revolution: Reform After Mao" (1987), and "Organizing China: The Problem of Bureaucracy, 1949-1976" (1981).
