Summary/Abstract: The Quadrilateral Security Dialogue or Quad has been established in 2008 and has been reorganized starting with 2017. With rising tensions in the East China Sea due to president Xi’s ambitions against Taiwan and with global security challenges following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine the Quad’s evolution has become interesting in the given context. The AUKUS partnership leads to question of whether other strategic security partnerships will be developed in the Quad and whether the countries building this alliance can have a common voice in regards of political and security issues in the region. Could the Quad be structured similar to NATO is a major question that this paper tries to answer.
