The Role of the Quad in Southeast Asia, Reducing the M in DIME

Abstract

In March of 2017, the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue (Quad) comprised of Australia, India, Japan, and the United States, reemerged as a significant actor in the Indo-Pacific. While the Quads inception occurred in 2006 in response to a natural disaster, the organization remained inactive through 2017, lacking vision and vigor.1 As the Quad has since regenerated to counter a growing Chinese threat in the Indo-Pacific, it has focused keenly on the military instrument of power, neglecting other essential instruments; namely diplomatic, information, and economic efforts. Military cooperation between members of the Quad has been successful, but at the same time, increased tensions with China
