India’s Quad Calculus and China
July 19, 2021
Research Fellow, Manohar Parrikar IDSA, Dr. Jagannath Panda’s article ‘India’s Quad Calculus and China’ has been published in Asan Forum at the Asan Institute for Policy Studies, South Korea, on July 19 2021.
The article argues that the Quad has come to occupy a central place in India’s Indo-Pacific outlook, which in turn has become a prominent part of the country’s new-look foreign policy. For India, the Quad is both a strategic dialogue and a means for it to elevate its own position on the global stage. While China is by no means the only factor influencing India’s Quad outlook, it is an important one, preserving New Delhi’s standing ahead of a revisionist China.
