IGS International Seminar<\/strong>
\n“Indo-Pacific Minilateralism: A New Venue For Advancing Women, Peace And Security?”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jacqui True will discuss how geopolitical competition and democratic backsliding threaten the stability of the Indo-Pacific region. In this context, international cooperation through the Quadrilateral security dialogue has the potential to strengthen shared liberal democratic values underpinning the vision of a free and open Pacific. But Quad minilateralism focused on security cooperation and economic resilience has hardly engaged with the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda now in its third decade.<\/p>\n

This talk will consider how the pillars of the WPS agenda — commitments to equal and inclusive participation, protection, relief & recovery and conflict prevention — can help to realise the ambition of Indo-Pacific minilateralism, and how minilateralism may provide an alternative venue for strengthening the global WPS agenda.<\/p>\n

True’s presentation is the keynote address for a two-day workshop on Women, Peace and Security in the Quad’s Commitment to a Free and Open Indo-Pacific.<\/p>\n
