A decade since its first iteration, the revival of the Quad presents significant questions for Australia and the regional order. Is the Quad a constructive partnership of the region’s major powers to safeguard regional stability, uphold the rules-based order and promote security cooperation? Is it a concert of democracies seeking to contain China? Or is it an emerging strategic alignment that risks precipitating the very confrontation with China it seeks to avoid? Or is it something else entirely?27 pagesapplication/pdfen-AU© 2018 ANU Strategic and Defence Studies Centrehttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/2018-03Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0)
