Rethinking the Regime Security and Democratic Development through the Shanghai Cooperation Organization

Abstract

The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) is a regional international organization that emerged in Eurasia in the post-Cold War period and has different priorities, unlike Western liberal organizations. In this respect, SCO is an unconventional international integration against non-traditional threats. SCO's institutional structure has been functionalized to serve security, understood as regime security against the threats of three evils: terrorism, extremism, and separatism. This study argues that one of the priorities of the SCO is to ensure regime security for its members. We can conclude that SCO can provide an essential basis for nation-building and democratic development among Central Asian Turkic Members (CATM).

Şanghay İşbirliği Örgütü Üzerinden Rejim Güvenliği ve Demokratik Gelişmeyi Yeniden Düşünmek

Abstract

Şanghay İşbirliği Örgütü (ŞİÖ), Soğuk Savaş sonrası dönemde Avrasya'da ortaya çıkan ve Batılı liberal örgütlerden farklı olarak farklı önceliklere sahip bölgesel bir uluslararası örgüttür. Bu açıdan ŞİÖ, geleneksel olmayan tehditlere karşı geleneksel olmayan bir uluslararası entegrasyondur. ŞİÖ'nün kurumsal yapısı, rejim güvenliği olarak da anlaşılabilecek şekilde üç şeytan olarak adlandırılan tehditler terörizm, aşırılık ve ayrılıkçılığa karşı mücadele edecek şekilde şekillendirilmiştir. Bu çalışma, ŞİÖ'nün önceliklerinden birinin üyelerinin rejim güvenliğini sağlamak olduğunu ileri sürmektedir. ŞİÖ'nün rejim güvenliği, istikrar ve ekonomik kalkınma gibi katkılar ile özellikle de, Orta Asyalı Türk Üyelerine (CATM) ulus inşası ve demokratik kalkınma için bir temel sağlayabileceği sonucuna varabiliriz.
