Asia- Debates Go Global

Overview About How do Asian People View the Us Elections, Candidates and foreign Policy

The focus of this paper is to analyze the manner in which the Asians view the US elections, candidates and foreign policies.

Obviously, the debate on health care reform rally the forces in each of the camps, and other themes are less critical, while important for certain segments of the electorate and will affect the outcome, such as immigration, gay marriage or control of firearms. Moreover, another important factor that plays a crucial role in the outcome is the foreign policy (Druckman, p. 559-571).
