Abstract

The era of “Western universalism” or “Western liberal supremacy”, as articulated by Francis Fukuyama, appears to be faltering. For nearly 30 years, global affairs were largely dictated by U.S. and multinational corporations. The prospect of U.S. losing its dominance in economics, finance, and technology, much like the decline of Pax Britannica in the 20th century, is becoming more tangible. Both SCO and BRICS share similar goals, though SCO focuses on Eurasia, while BRICS operates on a global scale. These organizations, alongside entities like EAEU, SCO-10, BRICS-10, China’s One Belt, One Road project, CICA, and Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, emphasize the importance of UN Charter and international law. Collectively, they contribute to the formation of a united Eurasia. The creation of OTS, which arose on the basis of Nakhichevan Declaration in 2009, is a great idea of uniting Turkic peoples for interaction in common projects of the economic, customs and transport cooperation, healthcare, education, tourism, agriculture, energy, humanitarian sphere, interaction between Muslim religious institutions and migration policy. And the goals of OTS are officially proclaimed already: strengthening friendship and good neighborliness between Turkic countries, peace and security in the region and around the world. In this capacity, the organization can really bring a lot of benefits to the region.
