| Summary/Abstract |
While we come to the conclusion, it should be said that in its current form, the QUAD remains relatively lightly institutionalized. In fact, it is neither a security arrangement nor a trade group. The major objective of the QUAD may be said to provide “tangible benefits” to the Indo-Pacific, bolster people-to-people ties. The major intent
is to thwart China’s growing regional influence. The QUAD also focuses on shared interests among group members in the matter of strengthening economic resilience and reducing dependencies on autocracies.If we look to it from a critical point of view, the QUAD—now stands at a crossroads as it enters its third phase.
