Resumo: | The Quadrilateral Security Dialogue, abbreviated to Quad, comprises Australia, the United States, Japan, and India. Although many think tanks and media outlets have written about recommendations to further this initiative, this essay believes the Quad is only evidence of a rising patchwork of small strategical dialogues within the Indo-Pacific region. The aims here are twofold: (a) to demonstrate the definitions and relevance of the Quad amid the soaring rivalry in the Indo-Pacific; and (b) to grasp this initiative as a “minilateral”grouping, which is settled in a more informal structure than multilateral institutions. In assessing these hypotheses, this research employs a qualitative content analysis of official statements and documents about the Quad meeting and national policies toward the Indo-Pacific. A systematic bibliographical review was applied to refine theoretical frameworks and to triangulate sources. In conclusion, this paper infers the Quad is not as ambitious and strong as previous literature claimed. These four members developed divergent interests in the Indo-Pacific; thereby, an alliance against China seems unlikely. |

The Quad: One More ‘Minilateral’ Initiative, not an Embryonic Military Alliance in the Indo-Pacific RegionThe Quadrilateral Security Dialogue, abbreviated to Quad, comprises Australia, the United States, Japan, and India. Although many think tanks and media outlets have written about recommendations to further this initiative, this essay believes the Quad is only evidence of a rising patchwork of small strategical dialogues within the Indo-Pacific region.

Embora muitos think tanks e meios de comunicação tenham promovido recomendações para essa iniciativa, este artigo acredita que o Quad é apenas uma evidência de uma crescente rede de pequenos diálogos estratégicos na região Indo-Pacífico. Os objetivos aqui são duplos: (a) demonstrar as definições e a relevância do Quad em meio à crescente rivalidade no Indo-Pacífico; e (b) compreender essa iniciativa como um agrupamento “minilateral”, estabelecido em uma estrutura mais informal que propriamente instituições multilaterais. Ao avaliar essas hipóteses, esta pesquisa emprega uma análise qualitativa de conteúdo de declarações e documentos oficiais sobre a reunião da Quad e políticas nacionais para o Indo-Pacífico. Uma revisão bibliográfica sistemática foi aplicada para refinar referenciais teóricos e para triangular fontes. Em conclusão, este artigo infere que o Quad não é tão ambicioso e forte quanto a literatura anterior alegou. Esses quatro membros desenvolveram interesses divergentes no Indo-Pacífico; assim, uma aliança contraa China parece improvável.Associação Brasileira de Relações Internacionais (ABRI)2020-08-03info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/htmlhttps://www.cartainternacional.abri.org.br/Carta/article/view/101410.21530/ci.v15n2.2020.1014Carta Internacional; Vol. 15 No. 2 (2020): Carta InternacionalCarta Internacional; Vol. 15 Núm. 2 (2020): Carta InternacionalCarta Internacional; v. 15 n. 2 (2020): Carta Internacional2526-903810.21530/ci.v15n2.2020reponame:Carta Internacional (Belo Horizonte.
