India-Australia Relations: Neglected No More
Priya Chacko
June 19, 2023
In the latest issue of India in Transition, Priya Chacko (Senior Lecturer in International Politics, University of Adelaide) argues that the India-Australia relationship has strengthened in last few years due to increasing tensions with China, some converging economic interests, and a growing Indian diaspora.
This is the final article in a four-part IiT series focused on India in the Quad, the geopolitical grouping that also includes Japan, Australia, and the US, whose leaders met at the annual Quad Summit in Hiroshima in May 2023. As India's perception of the China challenge continues to evolve, its approach toward the Quad—which has expanded in ambition and activity since the COVID-19 crisis, the 2020 Indo-China clash in Ladakh, and amid growing Sino-US tensions—calls for additional scholarly scrutiny. The first piece, by Kate Sullivan de Estrada, looked at India's leveraging of a "low-resolution" liberal order in the Indo-Pacific. The second, by Aditi Malhotra, looked at Shades of Grey between India, the US, and the Quad. The third, by Sumitha Narayanan Kutty, looked at furthering the "indispensable" partnership of India, Japan, and the Quad.
