This paper’s assessment is that transnational threats, energy geopolitics, and environmental concerns will define Philippine-US defense relations for the first three decades of the 21st century. The preoccupation of the US military will be defense of the US itself and control of international terrorism, which will rightly be perceived as more of a threat to world peace than the conventional armies of the major nation states. The US will naturally retain particular areas of special interest, for example in the Middle East and in Latin America, and it will retain an overall interest in stability in the rest of the world.
