Almaty,2014
Introduction
One of the same multilateral security structures on the Eurasian continent is the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. Founded originally as a political union of the five countries, which has set a goal to resolve the border issues in the area of the former Soviet-Chinese border, today, the SCO has developed into a full-fledged multilateral framework. In a short period of its existence, the organization formed a legal framework and established extensive international connections, ensuring regional security at all levels in the central Asia. Central Asia, being in the center of the Eurasian continent, is not the focal point of a compound of the Eurasian continent and the Middle East. Recently, in the process of formation of new relationships between the independent states of Central Asia are taking more and more important security issues in the region. Since in 2001 was created the SCO cooperation of its member countries in various fields, including strategic, stable development, political trust has reached a high level. The results cover a number of important areas of cooperation, such as politics, safety, economy and humanitarian sphere. In the field of political cooperation agreements were signed on Confidence Building in the Military Field in the Border Area, and on the mutual reduction of armed forces in the border area, which has strengthened the mutual trust between the Member States of the SCO. With the deepening of bilateral and multilateral political and economic relations in the framework of the SCO border issues between its member countries left over by history, if they were not fully resolved, most of the problems. Security has become another important area of

    The collapse of the United Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) led to the formation of a new democratic state. The Russian federation has had three different presidents since its formation and the ratification of its constitution in 1993. The Russian president’s role in the creation of foreign and domestic policies lies within the Russian constitution (Federation, 2013). However, not all presidents have addressed issues in the same manner. The first Russian president, Boris Yeltsin, was unsuccessful at fixing the broken Russian economy and uniting its government to establish a strong foreign policy. Yeltsin’s failure to lead the biggest country on the planet led to his resignation in 1999. His resignation allowed the Russian prime minister of the time to take power of the Russian Federation. His name is Vladimir Putin. This article will discuss some of Vladimir Putin’s approaches on international security issues that…

    On September 1, 2004, the world was shocked and horrified by the terrorist attack of Chechen rebels on a Middle school in the Russian town of Beslan. Nearly 1,200 children, teachers, and parents were taken hostage on the first day of school, and held captive for 53 hours. In the aftermath of the explosions and gunfire, over 360 people were killed, and hundreds more were left injured (Kaplan, 2004). The siege of the school was the latest of a dozen bloody attacks – on targets such as airliners, trains, government buildings, hospitals, and a movie theatre - that have claimed nearly 1,000 lives in Russia over the past two years, and yet another chilling reminder of the festering tensions between Russia and Chechnya (Kaplan, 2004).…

    The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) was formed to cope with the challenges of a bipolar world. However, today’s global environment faces multi-polar challenges from non-state actors such as terrorists. Threats once considered domestic concerns now affect the world, like global warming and the need to rebuild the infrastructure of unstable states such as Afghanistan and Bosnia. The globalization of modern society has meant the globalization of modern technological threats, including cyberterrorism, as well as increased international competition for scarce energy resources. All of these problems affect NATO members but cannot be addressed with a regionally specific focus. To create a more secure world “NATO will need to start working in partnership with other multilateral organizations, like the UN, if it hopes to find effective permanent solutions to the security challenges facing the world. Although NATOs presence is often a condition of success, it is increasingly insufficient” by itself when dealing with global security (Goldschmidt 2009). Domestic state concerns, such as internal instability and a lack of resources can have global repercussions.…

    Central Asia is a sphere of interest and great power status. It is believed that having a power means having a sphere of influence (Cooley 2012). For instance, during the Cold War, for Soviet Union, not the economic profit, but spreading socialism and political motives were more important (Mullerson 2007). Now, the US is promoting western democracy in Central Asia, trying to erodecate terrorism and mainly aiming to get rid of Russian and Chinese influence over Central Asia. Russia is trying to keep its hegemony by controlling bases in Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan. As a huge stakeholder, Russia is fighting with extremism and terrorism in Central Asia to his own interest. Moreover, Central Asian countries are buffer states against NATO extension. In the original Great Game, Russia does not want to give its enemy to grow and need to have buffer states between him and enemy. British Empire tried to control Afghanistan, so Russia could not get to India. All these demonstrates that even geopolitical causes stayed…
