Institutional transformation of the Shanghai cooperation organization after enlargement: status, problems, and outlook / Zhenpeng, Liang ; Kozinets, Andrei   Journal Article
Liang ZHENPENG, Andrei KOZINETS Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Now in its 21st year, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) finds itself in a period of transition. The organization has successfully completed its first round of expansion, altering the global and regional political landscape. As a result of this expansion, the organization has encountered some functional difficulties that include drafting and implementing important decisions. The SCO's authority in the global arena has thus grown, but coordinating the positions of all members of the organization and seeking consensus is now laborious. The administrative status of the organization's secretariat must be raised and its powers expanded in order to make its operation more effective. This article proposes a rethinking of the decision-making format that reflects the changing correlation of forces within the organization after its expansion, in light of objective difficulties in reaching consensus.

Restructured Multilateralism and Inclusive Development of the SCO / Zhenpeng, Liang ; Kozinets, Andrey   Journal Article
Zhenpeng, Liang Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Unlike the multilateral institutions of the past formed by hegemons in accordance with their interests, the multilateral format of the SCO (Shanghai Cooperation Organization) has given anew impetus to inclusive multilateral regional cooperation. In order to promote inclusive cooperation in Eurasia, the SCO member states have formulated strategic plans for cooperation in the main subregions and key areas of the organization's activities. New SCO plans to intensify cooperation consider the principle of inclusiveness and promote a system of compatibility of interests among members. Considering the relatively vague and "blurred" forms of cooperation existing among the member states, a quantitative increase in the SCO membership can both create new challenges and contribute to the emergence of new interaction formats. Thus, the introduction of new forms of "small multilateralism" may become relevant for enhancing the effectiveness of the SCO.
