“…India and Pakistan focus primarily on their bilateral relationship. China's security challenges lies to the east, with the Taiwan issue looming large over its foreign policy and relation to the Korean peninsula and Japan following closely (Cornell, 2004). Finally, Russia despite its historical influence and interest in Central Asia was preoccupied with the Caucasus and its relations with the West.…”

The dissolution of the Soviet Union towards the end of 1991 has led to the emergence of five Central Asian Republics (CARs) of the former Soviet Union, namely, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan, as independent countries. The strategic location of this region at the crossroads between Europe and China and also between Russia and Iran coupled with their huge and largely untapped reserves of oil and gas enabled the region to impart immense geo-strategic importance in world affairs. Countries of the region and beyond have tried their best to influence the newly independent countries to actualise their respective interests. The US, Europe, Russia and China as well as Japan and Korea all have formulated their policies with a view to influence the regional geopolitics of the region. But a massive country towards the south of Central Asia was sitting idly having a low profile in the region with the tag of latecomer. Historically, deep rooted civilizational linkages, thorough friendship, cultural affinity and economic bondage largely remained disconnected throughout the years between these two Asian neighbours until recently. Neither the Central Asian countries nor India felt any compelling need to include each other in their geopolitical calculus. Against this background, this research article argues that India has vital economic and security interests in the CARs and needs to develop a comprehensive, long-term strategy to protect and promote its geo-political interest in this region.

“…The SCO's multilateralism and characteristic of an alliance will not match that of NATO. While fighting against extremism and terrorism is shared objectives, it is to be noted that the overall strategic aim of the alliance for Beijing and Moscow is somewhat geared to curb growing influence of the United States in Central Asia by way of establishing a joint sphere of influence at the backyard as well as across the continent (Cohen,1999;Wishnick, 2003;Cornell, 2004;Oliker and Shalpak, 2005;Weitz, 2006;Chin-Hao, 2006;Rumer, 2006;Olcott, 2006a;. Evidently, while resetting its priorities, the idea of counterbalancing the presence of the United States and hence that of NATO (actively involved in Afghanistan) in Central Asia has become one of the Organization's central objectives.…”

The paper is a study of a rather recent regional interstate formation in Asia, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. Its background and progress is highlighted. With all indications, the organisation has caught the attention of researchers and will continue to occupy the agenda of the 21st century international politics. Bearing in mind the size and weight of its membership within the area it spans, the organisation is set to be a powerhouse to reckon with beyond its regional borders. After its structure is described, what the organisation implies for Russian and Chinese interests is taken up. The Organisation has significant implications for the Central Asian States and the neighboring countries. As an institutional actor in the global game, its regional and global implications are highlighted.
