Abstract

On 24 February 2022, Russian president Vladimir Putin, during his address to the citizens of Russia, announced a special military operation in Ukraine. Since then, the international environment on the Eurasian continent, and the world order that has existed for 30 years after the Cold War, has changed. The armed conflict in Ukraine, which occurred as a result of North Atlantic Alliance (NATO) policy, has revealed once again the differences between the approaches of Russia, China, and western countries to world order and multilateral cooperation. This article analyzes the principles of activity, goals, and decision-making mechanisms of two key international security organizations—the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) and NATO. Thus, this article defines the characteristic features of NATO and SCO approaches to ensuring regional security. In addition, in view of the suspension of Russia's membership in many international organizations and the adoption of a new NATO Strategic Concept, it seems especially relevant to intensify cooperation within the organizations in which the Russian Federation retains enduring influence. In this regard, the issues and the prospects for developing and strengthening the SCO’s role on the world stage in the context of the current geopolitical situation were also considered.

北约和上合组织：概念基础及其在组织工作中的实施

2022年2月24日，俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京在向俄罗斯公民发表讲话时宣布在乌克兰采取特别军事行动。从那时起，欧亚大陆的国际环境和冷战后存在了30年的世界秩序发生了变化。北大西洋公约组织（NATO）政策导致的乌克兰武装冲突再次暴露了俄罗斯、中国和西方国家对世界秩序和多边合作的态度差异。本文分析了上海合作组织和北约这两个重要国际安全组织的活动原则、目标和决策机制。因此，本文界定了北约和上合组织确保地区安全的方法的特点。此外，鉴于俄罗斯暂停了其在许多国际组织中的成员资格，并通过了一项新的北约战略概念，加强俄罗斯联邦在其中保持持久影响力的组织内部的合作似乎尤为重要。在这方面，还考虑了在当前地缘政治形势下发展和加强上海合作组织在世界舞台上的作用的问题和前景。
