 ersity Geneva and Research Collaborator at the Research Institute for the 
 History of Global Arms Transfer\, Meiji University\, Tokyo.\n\nSynopsis:\n
 \nAmidst China’s continued military and economic rise and growing assert
 iveness\, new US-led regional groupings are emerging and institutionalizin
 g. AUKUS between Australia\, the United Kingdom and the United States\, an
 d the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue (Quad) between the latter\, Australi
 a\, Japan and India\, are examples of a new type of security partnerships 
 in the Indo-Pacific region. Differing from Cold War-era alliances between 
 Washington\, on the one hand\, and Asian countries (e.g. Japan\, South Kor
 ea\, the Philippines)\, on the other\, these new partnerships are minilate
 ral\, multifunctional and flexible in nature and do not imply pledges of m
 ilitary support in case of armed attacks on member states. A new regional 
 security architecture seems to be materializing.\n\nIn its first iteration
 \, the Webster Geneva Global Dialogue (WGGD) conference series brings toge
 ther three prominent experts to discuss the rise of China and its impacts 
 on the US foreign policy in the Indo-Pacific. Central questions that will 
 guide the debate include: What explains the shape of these new regional pa
 rtnerships\; is it the multidimensional nature of the Chinese threat\, or 
 the reluctance of countries to frontally oppose the economic powerhouse? A
 re traditional security alliances in the Indo-Pacific outdated relics? Sho
 uld we expect these new partnerships to expand and involve “like-minded 
 countries” such as South Korea\, France and Vietnam? Are these partnersh
 ips an early sign of a “new Cold War\,” in the sense of a bipolar deco
 upling\, between the United States and China?
