The Abe doctrine on ‘Quad plus’
July 17, 2020
Research Fellow, Manohar Parrikar IDSA, Dr. Jagannath Panda’s article titled ‘The Abe doctrine on Quad Plus’ has been published by The Japan Times on July 17, 2020.
The article argues that Japan’s search for security will continue to draw its analogy from Abe’s decade-old Quad doctrine even after he leaves office in 2021. How the post-Abe leadership translates the framework of ‘democratic diamond’ to a cohesive security platform that Japan has been searching for under its Quad to Quad plus process remains to be seen.
