Abstract

In recent decades, the political observers have witnessed major changes in the political, ‎security and economic system on the international scene. One of the most important of these ‎changes is the emergence of regional convergence as an independent international element. The ‎Shanghai Cooperation Organization can be defined in this framework. The organization has ‎gained considerable scope over the years after its establishment in both areas of activity and in ‎terms of its structure. In order to identify and analyze the opportunities and challenges of the ‎Shanghai Cooperation Organization, this study examined the developments, regional and global ‎geopolitical policy and the strategies from the beginning.
