Abstract

The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) was the first multilateral institution to be initiated by the People's Republic of China and is now the world's largest regional organization. This study investigates how the SCO has enlarged its ‘circle of friends’, which I understand as one of several ways that China attempts to spread its vision of international relations internationally. I focus on two major ways through which the SCO has increased this ‘circle’, namely membership expansion and cooperation with other regional and international organizations. Drawing on official SCO and Chinese government documents as well as first-hand interview data gathered in China in 2018, the study offers insights into the core mechanisms through which the Chinese-led organization has expanded its ‘circle of friends’ and discusses these developments against the backdrop of China’s ambition to influence the international order through the SCO. The analysis will make evident that the SCO has managed to extend far beyond its founding member states and that this supposedly helps China gain support for its normative views and arguments on the international level.

中国寻找拥有共同世界观的伙伴:扩大“上海合作组织大家庭”

上海合作组织是中华人民共和国倡议成立的第一个多边机构，也是当今世界上最大的区域组织。本研究调查了上海合作组织如何扩大其“朋友圈”，我认为这是中国试图在国际上传播其国际关系愿景的几种方式之一。我主要谈上海合作组织扩大“圈子”的两大途径，即扩员和同其他地区和国际组织开展合作。根据上海合作组织和中国政府的官方文件以及2018年在中国收集的第一手采访数据，该研究提供了对中国领导的组织扩大“朋友圈”的核心机制的见解，并在中国通过上海合作组织影响国际秩序的雄心背景下讨论了这些发展。分析将表明，上海合作组织已经成功地扩展到其创始成员国之外，这可能有助于中国在国际层面上为其规范性观点和论点获得支持。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
