摘要

As it enters the third decade, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (henceforth, SCO) has embarked on a new phase of development. The Russia–Ukraine conflict not only worsens the external environment for the SCO’s development after the expansion, but also aggravates the internal difficulty in strategic coordination and policy communication. Strengthening its organizational identity has emerged as a pivotal strategy for the SCO to harmonize the interests of its new and old member states. Given the significant disparities in culture and developmental levels among the membership, enhancing the SCO’s institutional identity becomes even more pertinent. Currently, the SCO has achieved notable progress in fostering its institutional identity, evident in the SCO Model, which emphasizes the Shanghai Spirit as its value-based norm, Central and South Asia as geographical focus, regional security issues as core concerns, and consultation as decision-making mechanism. This model offers valuable insights for the advancement of diverse regional institutions.
