The Shanghai Cooperation Organization is one of the symbols of regional integration in post-Cold War Eurasia. This organization was formed in 2001 with specific goals that were based on security, and currently it has spread to other areas such as economic. With the beginning of the process of entering Iran as a new member, the question of this research is that according to the areas of cooperation and goals of the Shanghai Organization, what range of security and economic consequences will Iran's permanent membership in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization entail? The findings of the article show that power relations are a central variable in the creation of Shanghai's security and economic regime, and relative achievements have played a key role in shaping the behavioral model of organization members. Iran's permanent membership in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization can have security, economic and political benefits.
