Cooperation Organization " will be presented by

Course Overview:
(U//FOUO) Coming out of its June Summit, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) has
seen a fair amount of press. The SCO was founded in 2001 by Russia, China and four former
Soviet republics in Central Asia. Observers now include Iran, India, Pakistan and Mongolia.
Originally centered on mutual concerns for state security, the SCO has the potential to become a
major center of gravity politically and economically.
(U//FOUO) Whether it will become "as Asian counterpart to NATO" as expressed by Chinese
President Hu Jintao, or "a new model of geopolitical integration ... without any claims to
monopoly or domination," as uttered by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, it is worth
exploring what this SCO is, what it isn't, and what may lie ahead. Join us on September 20 for a
joint presentation by the SINIOs for East Asia, Russia, and Economics and Global Issues.
(U//FOUO) To register, and for further info on this series of seminars, please consult the SINIO
Brown Bag Seminars Website . Any questions or concerns regarding registration should be
directed to the NCS.
