This month’s issue is devoted to teasing out the various strands of the emerging “free and open Indo-Pacific” concept. First, we explore the Quad from the perspective of scholars in each member country: the United States, Japan, India, and Australia. Then we present a collection of regional perspectives on the “free and open Indo-Pacific” with analyses from China, South Korea, and Southeast Asia. And, of course, we offer a range of reporting, analysis, and opinion from across the region.
