Recenzje

"International institutions have been at the forefront of global advancement ever since the sovereign states decided to cooperate for common good instead of battling it out every time they felt the need to express themselves. Shanghai Cooperation Organisation is yet another example of regional cooperation relying upon well established institutional framework of normative mutual cooperation. As a member of international institutions family it deserves a well balanced analytical analysis of its role and functions."---Aleksandr Popov, Lektor/Lecturer, Juhtimise teaduskond/Department of Management, Estonian Business School

The world politics is going through serious processes of transformation and paradigm shifts in the balance of power, this leads to sharp increase in the role of regional instruments of cooperation, such as SCO. The authors cover most of the aspects of cooperation within the SCO (from security to transport and logistics) and also give some critique to the organization's law-making and activity in the geopolitical sphere. The latter is helpful to define the ways to enhance the capacity and political role of SCO in the future."---Anna Kondratyuk, Professor, PhD in International Law, Associate Professor, Rushford Business School, SSBM-Swiss School of Business and Management, Geneva
