Abstract

The US policy community has been taking note of the UK’s ‘tilt’ toward the Indo-Pacific since before their British counterparts referred to it as such. UK contributions to the region were first valued by Americans focused on Pacific naval dynamics, and a broader section of the security community has developed a similar appreciation. However, some Americans continue to doubt the tilt’s sustainability and strategic viability, especially due to the dangers associated with spreading the US–UK alliance too thinly with regard to the huge challenges lurking elsewhere. John F Bradford provides an analytical history of US perspectives and expectations regarding the UK’s growing Indo-Pacific role.◼
