THE GEO-ECONOMIC RELEVANCE OF SHANGHAI COOPERATION ORGANIZATION. IMPLICATIONS FOR ENERGETIC SECURITY ENSURANCE IN THE WIDER BLACK SEA REGION

Summary/Abstract: The present paper has as a main objective the analysis of the importance and the catalyst which gives the basis of the multi-side co-operation within SCO, in a broader context emphasizing the geo-political changes and tendencies which have modified the international security environment after the Cold War and the keen interest in the competition for the geo-economic supremacy in the Euroasian area. The present academic debates emphasize the idea of competition in order to acquire access and give proper value to the energetic resources, the global dimension of the issue being given by the unprecedented taken proportions. Therefore, we will explain the potential and the geo-economic relevance of the Eurasian area for its actors’ interests (members or non-members) of SCO, which have developed their capability of co-operation within a very select "energy club", taking into account the possible implications for energetic security ensurance in the Wider Black Sea Region.
