Abstract
The India-Australia defence partnership has evolved from diplomatic engagements to operational military integration,thus reshapingthe Indo-Pacific security architecture of 21st century. Built on joint operations, information sharing and exercises, this cooperation is reinforced by diplomatic, economic and technological convergence. Amid growing Chinese assertiveness, the partnership provides a model of networked autonomy, enabling middle powers to aggregate capabilities while preserving strategic independence.
