Quad Hub

The Quad Hub aims to track Quad’s policy initiatives, activities, and discourse

About the Quad Hub

The Quad is a strategic grouping involving four countries: India, the United States, Australia, and Japan.

In 2017, senior officials from the Quad countries met on the sidelines of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Regional Forum (ARF). The grouping has expanded to regular foreign ministerial consultations and, since 2021, leader-level annual summits. The Quad’s role in the Indo-Pacific focuses on providing public goods to regional partners across numerous domains like cybersecurity, climate change, infrastructure, and maritime security.

The Quad Hub features interactive dashboards focusing on the Quad’s institutional history — detailing meetings at the official, ministerial, and leader levels — and outlining the key initiatives concerning the Quad’s sectoral focuses.

The Hub features Takshashila’s research, podcasts, and newsletters for advancing scholarship on the Quad. Our work spans semiconductors, biotech and biomanufacturing, maritime security, and the space sector.

We also have a dedicated weekly newsletter — the Quad Bulletin that tracks the grouping’s developments in the Indo-Pacific, with an eye towards India’s expanding relations with the three Quad countries.
