Kazakhstani foreign policy elite: conceptual approach and practical activity

Abstract

The article analyzes the influence of the Kazakhstani foreign policy elite in the context of the geopolitical challenges of the present time. The article reflects a specific case of a geopolitical challenge as a military conflict between Ukraine and Russia, the position and consequences for Kazakhstan. Relying on the idea of neo-Eurasianism since the formation of our country and, accordingly, the priority tasks of the concept of foreign policy, Kazakhstan invariably continues to move along the path of a multi-vector policy. Experts and analysts actively criticized and supported the multi-vector policy in making foreign policy decisions. It is worth noting that the principles formed over 30 years in the country's foreign policy give fruitful results and solutions, but there are difficulties in the foreign economic sphere, while having a huge arsenal for stable implementation, but since our country is an integral part of the system of international relations, any challenge in the international arena affects both our country and all countries of the world. The conclusions and recommendations in this article fully reveal the advantages of Kazakhstan over geopolitical threats and challenges, in no way inferior to the great powers.
