The Afghan Crisis And Shanghai Cooperation Organization Policies Of Stabilization: A New Management?

Abstract

Central Asia has become a geopolitical chessboard for the superpowers.
There are few places as important to US national security as the tribal
belt along Pakistan and Afghanistan border region. The region serves as
a safe haven for a core group of nationally and internationally networked
of terrorists and increasingly a hotbed of indigenous militancy that
threatens the stability of not only to Afghanistan and Pakistan but the
entire Central Asian Region. It is estimated that nearly one hundred
Islamic extremist groups and jihadi organizations with cross border
linkages are operating with impunity throughout South Asia.
In our paper we are intending to propose possible ways of strengthening
and developing SCO’s potential in solving security, political, economic
problems in Afghanistan with ultimate goal of preserving regional
security free from terrorism, extremism, and drug trafficking that
conducts to political and economic prosperity of all countries in the
region.
