KAZAKHSTAN’S “ENERGY PLURALISM”: LONGSTANDING AND NEW RISKS
Keywords:
Kazakhstan, energy pluralism, energy diplomacy, hydrocarbon policyAbstract
This article examines the current trends in the development of the energy sec- tor in the Republic of Kazakhstan. It is a key factor in the country’s competitiveness and a driver of the comprehensive modernization of Kazakhstani society. Considerable attention is heeded to the development risks in various sectors of the fuel and energy com- plex that affect Kazakhstan’s multi-vector energy policy. The urgent task of the country’s 38 sustainable development and the creation of a more balanced energy sector leads to the conclusion that a synergetic approach is prioritized in Kazakhstan’s policy. This approach entails the development of “energy pluralism” with the prospect of further diversification of the country’s energy balance and an empha- sis on innovative development.
