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

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.
