Japan and the Quad

Abstract
Commentary on the tentative revival of the Quad tends to attribute this development to two shifts in the security environment of the region: the increasing assertiveness of China, and growing uncertainty surrounding US commitment to the region under Trump.
For Japan, what matters most is the confluence of this geopolitical context with developments in its own security policy thinking.
Japan under Abe is seeking to harness rising insecurity to underpin its own regional leadership credentials and enhance the geographical scope of its security policy ambition.
