Abstract
The security cooperation between the SCO member states became quickly focused on so-called non-traditional security threats, at least officially. By definition, non-traditional security threats are threats posed by non-state actors, such as terrorism, drug trafficking, piracy, illegal immigration, and other criminal acts. In effect, these non-traditional threats have to be addressed differently than traditional threats, which are traditional military forces of an adversary state actor.
