Quad Plus and Indo-Pacific: The Changing Profile of International Relations

Research Fellow, Manohar Parrikar IDSA Dr. Jagannath Panda's co-edited book ‘Quad Plus and Indo-Pacific: The Changing Profile of International Relations’ is published under Taylor & Franscis, Routledge.

This book explores how the Quad Plus mechanism is set to reshape the global multilateral economic and security co-operations between Quad partner countries and the rest of the world. With the Quad partners – Australia, India, Japan and the United States – seeing deteriorating ties with China, the book provides a holistic understanding of the reasons why Quad Plus matters and what it means for the post-COVID Indo-Pacific and Asian order. It goes beyond the existing literature of the global Post-COVID reality and examines how Quad Plus can grow and find synergy with national and multilateral Indo-Pacific initiatives.
