Summary/Abstract: Ten years after the collapse of the first version of the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue (QSD), the new „Quad” is growing, with the participation of the same counties: Australia, India, Japan and the United States. Why after the fall of the idea did they return to this platform again? The answer seems to be obvious, not only for those who wanted to maintain the „Quad” but also for those who did not treat it as a priority. The growing strength and assertiveness of China convinced these four states to launch the new „Quad”. For Australia, the key factor for the effectiveness of the new Quadrilateral Security Dialogue will be to deepen mutual cooperation with special emphasis on India, as well as to convince ASEAN countries to the idea of the Indo-Pacific. Only in this way „Quad” would guarantee security in the region, as much as to create an alternative to the China’s Belt and Road project. It is Australian chance to balance the power, through bringing order to the region, on principles that are favorable for itself.
