Research Fellow, Manohar Parrikar IDSA, Dr. Jagannath Panda’s piece ‘The Quad Moves on Critical Technologies’ has been published in ‘Japan Forward’, on March 19, 2021.
The piece argues that the Quad Critical and Emerging Technologies Working Group marks a critical advance in the Quad’s evolution. With substantive cooperation between the four constituent countries, the Quad can witness true progress in the high-tech domain. Ultimately, the aim must be to create a digital Indo-Pacific with strong institutions and a digital architecture that is free, transparent, inclusive and democratic, therefore being reflective of liberal norms.
