“…Managing issues sparked by the rise of China is considered critical for Australia, India, Japan, and the United States in the Indo-Pacific region once this country has become an important player in terms of international politics and economy (De Silva 2019; Medcalf 2018; Pattanaik 2016; White 2013). In this respect, many scholars and officials observe such issues as an aspect able to alter the post-Cold War liberal order maintained by Washington and organizations such as the United Nations (Pant and Joshi 2016). Chinese presence and influence in global affairs are not unusually portrayed as a hindrance to the maintenance of international laws and organizations.…”

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.

“…However, the progress of the relationship during the Bush administration was not accompanied by the beginning of the Obama administration, losing part of the momentum. This can be understood, in part, by Obama's opposition, as a senator, to the nuclear deal with India (Pant & Joshi 2016). This begins to change with Modi's arrival as prime minister, leading to recognition of India as a rising power by the US, and Obama being the guest of Republic Day in India in 2016 (Pant & Joshi 2016).…”

“…The nuclear agreement signed between Washington and New Delhi was instrumental in ensuring cooperation between countries and in addressing various areas, renewing the US-India Defense Relationship in 2015 for another ten years (Mohan 2006, Pant & Joshi 2016. Therefore, India and the US have built the foundations on which to lay down their strategies to curb the main threat in their view: China.…”

“…Given that "(...) India and China are long-term rivals and India's capacity to internally balance China is limited, the only option is to balance China with US help." (Pant & Joshi 2016, p. 45 ), Modi has the view that relations with the US are a key factor and part of the Indian regional strategy for Asia Pacific (Pant & Joshi 2016). The positions of India and the US are on balancing China: the US wants to curb Chinese growth, and India seeks to prevent a greater presence of Beijing in its vicinity, as well as to rival China in Southeast Asia, making the relationship one that interests both (Mohan 2006).…”

The knowledge regarding nuclear technology represented a new reality for the generation of energy and international security. The nuclear attacks of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 represented the beginning of the so-called nuclear era and of the “balance of terror” as presented by many analysts such as Raymond Aron, deepened by the arms race in the US-Soviet bipolarity after 1947. Besides the superpowers, different countries had begun to develop their nuclear programs. The cases of Brazil and India stand out, since they develop their research agendas n the 1950s and 1960s, in the Cold War context, as a path to enhance their autonomy and bargaining power. The spread of the nuclear knowledge represented a challenge for the superpowers, and the talks for mechanisms of nuclear proliferation control such as the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) started. This is the context in which Brazil and India develop their nuclear programs under the impact of its bilateral relations with the US. Although, these programs were convergent at first, in the search for nuclear autonomy, adjustments are going to be observed on both policies after the end of the Cold War. The article aims to understand the importance and history of Brazil and India nuclear programs and US weight on these agendas.

“…Russia is India's old friend and largest arms exporter just like China is Pakistan's; the foremost priority of both Russia and China will be their respective partners and then relations with other states. Pant and Joshi (2016) seems correct in their analysis that a tightened balance of power is emerging in South Asia and larger Eurasian region with better defined poles.…”

Russia has been India’s all-weather friend and strategic partner for the past 70 years. However, for a decade or so, they are drifting away and are seeking new friends and partners. India has been making new partners in the West and Russia is working closely with China to counter US hegemony. It has been forging warmer, more cooperative relations with Pakistan. In this scenario, the recent missile defense deal can be considered a milestone in bilateral relations between India and Russia, ushering in a new era in relations. Mutual interests and politics led both states to recalibrate their relation so as to not lose old, trusted partners and simultaneously maintain strategic autonomy. This research qualitatively analyzes the structural drivers in the relation of the two states in the background of S-400 missile defense deal concluded in October 2018.
