QUAD and the Indo-Pacific Concept: Attempts to Contain China’s Endeavour for Hegemony This article shall attempt to explain the Indo-Pacific concept and the Quadrilateral Security Dialog QUAD to counter China’s aim to become Asia’s hegemon. Japan, India, Australia and the USA are members of the QUAD. The traditional Asia-Pacific policy between the USA and Japan did not include the region of the Indian Ocean, which includes states such as India and Bangladesh. The Indo-Pacific Concept aims to integrate the countries of South, South East and East Asia under liberal order and the rule of law. Japan is the driving force of this policy. However, Japan and the other countries must face the issue that these same countries, who wish to hinder the PR China and their aim to become the economic and military super power of Asia, are also economically deeply intertwined with China. Hence, although China is building military bases in the Indian and Pacific Ocean and in the South China Sea, QUAD members do not want to appear to be a similar group as NATO or an adversary of the PR China. The second problem for Japan and the other Asian countries is the USA. In the past, the USA has been the leading nation in Asia in terms of security and economic policy. However, this is not a guaranteed policy for the future. Japan, Australia and India see the Indo-Pacific concept and QUAD as a way to deal with China, even if the USA will no longer represent the economic leader and military guarantor for these Asian countries.
