The purpose of this scientific work is to assess the developing directions of Kazakhstan’s interaction with other states in various spheres. Different methods of scientific research were used in the study, namely analysis and synthesis, comparison, deduction, abstraction, formal legal method etc. Since independence, Kazakhstan’s multi-vector foreign policy has to some extent contributed to maintaining the balance of power in the region. Having chosen the professional diplomat Tokayev as his successor, Nazarbayev resigned on March 19, 2019, ushering in a new, unanalysed phase of the multi-vector foreign policy that has developed over the past 30 years. A theoretical analysis of the development of Kazakhstan’s foreign policy during the transition of power was carried out. It is concluded that during the transition of power, the multi-vector foreign policy develops in a new direction and in accordance with the priority of geo-economic values. The practical value of this research lies in the contribution to the literature of understanding the concept of multi-vector foreign policy or balance-based foreign policy during power transitions. |
