Shanghai Cooperation Organization: A Balance Seeking Between Interests/Priorities and Regional Cooperation

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this study is to analyze the structure, main areas of activity and problems, and foresee the future of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), of which foundation was announced on June 15, 2001, in Shanghai (China). The People’s Republic of China and the Russian Federation, which have veto powers in the United Nations, have been members since the establishment of the SCO, an Asian-based intergovernmental organization. Despite the fact that their capabilities to create influence in the international arena, and interests/priorities are different from each other, the SCO, now, has eight member countries adopting regional cooperation. Additionally, the organization has six dialogue partners, as well as four observer countries. The SCO is committed to strengthen peace and stability, and to promote trade, economic, cultural, and humanitarian ties in line with the Shanghai Cooperation Organization’s Development Strategy to 2025.
