Tracing China’s shifting perceptions, from dismissing the Quad as “ocean froth” to portraying it as an “Asian NATO,” the work examines the grouping’s transformation into a central actor in regional security discourse.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\" data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eVolume 1 brings together leading scholars to examine the Quad’s trajectory across historical, political, economic, and security dimensions. Contributions explore India–Australia cooperation in non-traditional security, India–Japan maritime diplomacy, and the conceptualization of Quad 2.0 as a heterarchical security complex. The volume examines critical minerals, cybersecurity, supply chain resilience, and Quad’s external engagements with Italy, France, the UK, and ASEAN.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\" data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eA distinctive feature of the volume is its dual focus: first, on the deepening cooperation among Quad members, Australia, India, Japan, and the United States, across diverse domains; and second, on China’s evolving responses, which have shifted from indifference to open opposition. Through discourse analysis of Chinese strategic rhetoric, the study highlights the underlying contestation shaping Indo-Pacific geopolitics. These volumes fill a major gap in the literature and offer a forward-looking assessment of the Quad’s institutionalization and limitations. They are an essential resource for scholars, policymakers, and students studying multilateral security cooperation and great-power competition in the Indo-Pacific.\u003c\/div\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2026-05-29\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789819571901\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 326\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Nature Singapore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45667885023372,"sku":"9789819571901","price":143.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789819571901.jpg?v=1777387379","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789819571901","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
