The Quad partners—Australia, India, Japan, and the United States—confront acute and evolving challenges in their efforts to deter China in the Indo-Pacific. Beyond China’s continued military modernization, recent U.S. political uncertainty, strains in the U.S.-India relationship, and fissures in other regional agreements, such as AUKUS, bring the Quad partners to an inflection point. Although all members maintain core interests in collaborating on deterrence, recent disruptions have destabilized progress. What is the way forward for the Quad in 2025 and beyond?
Join the Center for a New American Security on Thursday, October 2, from 3:00–4:00 p.m. ET for a panel discussion on the Quad’s efforts to promote security and stability in the Indo-Pacific. The conversation will draw on a new report, Mobilizing for a Free, Open, and Secure Indo-Pacific: A Strategic Reassessment, from the Hoover Institution’s Global Policy and Strategy Initiative, and will cover a range of formal and informal coordination opportunities.
Live viewers will have the opportunity to ask questions during the discussion.
