Abstract

Kazakhstan actively cooperates with Russia in the energy sector, which is directly  associated  with  the  role played by the fuel and energy complex in the functioning of all sectors of the Kazakh economy. The paper considers the main factors in the development of Kazakhstan’s fuel and energy complex, and concludes that its partnership with Russia is important in ensuring national security in a contextual sense. The article also considers the risks of Kazakhstan’s energy policy based on the geopolitical competition of regional and global actors.
