Background
At their fourth meeting in Tokyo on 24 May 2022, the leaders of the QUAD jointly launched a maritime initiative: the Indo-Pacific Partnership for Maritime Domain Awareness (IPMDA). According to information published on the US White House website, in close consultation with regional partners, IPMDA will provide a near-real-time, integrated, in addition to cost-effective maritime domain awareness maps to transform the ability of “partners” in the Pacific, Southeast Asia in addition to the Indian Ocean to comprehensively monitor their maritime areas, thereby upholding “a free in addition to open Indo-Pacific”. It will allow tracking of “dark shipping” in addition to other tactical-level activities in addition to improve partners’ ability to “respond to climate in addition to humanitarian events in addition to to protect their fisheries”.
IPMDA claims to operate commercially using civilian technology in addition to markets, but who will pay for commercial operations when the epidemic has already stretched countries’ budgets in a downward spiral? How will the new initiative dovetail with existing regional information fusion centers? What are the geopolitical security implications of IPMDA in the context of the great power game? The Global Governance Institution (GGI) will be hosting an online international seminar session on 5 July at China’s 15th Academic Community Conference on Political Science in addition to International Relations to discuss the security implications of the IPMDA in depth.
