Introduction
In the 21st century, minilateralism has emerged as a network of like-minded states addressing shared concerns. Prominent minilateral blocs include the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue (QUAD), Australia-UK-USA (AUKUS), Chip 4 Alliance, and India-Israel-US-UAE (I2U2). These groups collaborate across various sectors such as security, economy, and technology. However, concerns have been raised about the potential impacts of these minilaterals on global peace. This issue brief will outline some of the most active minilateral groups and examine their positive and negative effects on the global strategic landscape.
