SCO Explained: Is the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation a Sleeping Giant Symbolic Bloc?

???? Is the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) the future of global power? Or just another symbolic bloc? In this episode of The Global Insight, we unpack the rise of the SCO—an alliance led by China and Russia—and explore its impact on Eurasian geopolitics, security, and the global balance of power.

From its roots as a regional security pact to its current role shaping trade and infrastructure through the Belt and Road Initiative and CPEC, the SCO now includes India, Pakistan, and Iran—countries with complex rivalries and ambitions. Can this alliance overcome its internal contradictions? Or is it destined to be a forum of photo-ops and policy declarations?

???? Topics we cover:

What is the SCO? How did it start?
The role of China, Russia, India, Pakistan & Iran
CPEC and Belt and Road Initiative connections
Regional security and counterterrorism (RATS)
China–India tensions and SCO unity challenges
SCO vs NATO: A new Cold War bloc?
