Abstract

Bu makale temel olarak Şanghay İşbirliği Örgütü'nün (ŞİÖ) kuruluşunu, dönüşümünü ve genişlemesini bir bütün olarak incelemektedir. Makale birbiriyle ilişkili üç soruya cevap aramaktadır: 1) Devletlerin hangi güvenlik kaygıları Şanghay Beşlisi toplantılarına yol açmıştır? 2) Örgütün yatay ve dikey genişlemeleri 1996 yılından bu yana nasıl şekillenmiştir? 3) ŞİÖ'nün genişlemelerinden doğan fırsatlar, zorluklar ve tartışmalar nelerdir? Makalenin temel argümanı, başlangıçta güvenlik kaygılarıyla örgütlenen ŞİÖ'nün zaman içerisinde daha kapsamlı ve jeopolitik odaklı bir uluslararası örgüte dönüştüğüdür. Makalede bu durumun örgüte özgü yeni fırsat ve zorlukları da beraberinde getirdiği varsayılmaktadır.

Shanghai Cooperation Organization: Origin, Transformation, and Discussions on Expansion(s)

https://izlik.org/JA69SH68DA

Abstract

This article mainly examines the establishment, transformation, and expansion of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. In this respect, the article focuses on the four cumulative steps. The first of these investigates the security concerns of the states that paved the way for the Shanghai Five meetings. The second one reveals the organization's horizontal and vertical expansions have taken shape since 1996. The third of these concerns the opportunities, challenges, and controversies arising from the expansions of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. Relatedly, the fourth step questions Türkiye's potential membership to the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, based on the discussions about expansions. The article's main argument is that the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, which was initially organized with security concerns, has transformed into a more comprehensive and geopolitical-oriented international organization over time. The article supposes that this situation has brought new opportunities, challenges, and discussions to the organization, including Türkiye's potential membership.
