Competition for resources may well be the greatest threat to Asian security. As U.S. hegemony fades, many Asian countries are engaged in an arms race to replace the outworn U.S. hegemony with some new form of a balance of power. A better strategy would be for Asians and Americans to build a Concert of Asia based on shared values. Admittedly, U.S.. and Asian values are presently quite different. But there is nothing inevitable about cultural divergence and conflict. In fact, the spread of democracy, a new technological trajectory in Asia, the information revolution, the "CNN factor", the resurgence of ethics in world public opinion, and the globalization of the world economy are all powerful factors which contribute to a common knowledge base and cultural convergence between Asians and Americans. Finally, education and institutional flexibility are critical building blocks on the road to a Concert of Asia.
