The Role of Kazakhstan in Economic Integration within the Organization of Turkic States

Öz

Kazakhstan is a key actor in promoting economic cooperation among the member states of the Organization of Turkic States (OTS). With its vast territory, strategic position as the transit hub, and strong historical and cultural ties with other Turkic nations, Kazakhstan functions both as a bridge between East and West and as a facilitator of regional economic dialogue. This study aims to examine Kazakhstan’s role in advancing economic cooperation within the OTS framework. Employing a qualitative case study approach, it analyses Kazakhstan’s infrastructure investments, trade partnerships, and commitment to multilateral collaboration. Particular attention is given to Kazakhstan’s role in developing the Trans-Caspian Middle Corridor and its efforts to align national policies with broader regional objectives. The analysis is based on current trade data, regional policy documents, and intergovernmental agreements. The findings indicate that Kazakhstan’s pragmatic, infrastructure-focused strategy has laid a solid foundation for a more integrated and economically resilient Turkic World. At the same time, Kazakhstan faces the challenge of balancing its active role in the Turkic World with its long-standing relations with global powers such as China and Russia. However, this multi-dimensional network of relations is also seen as a potential asset for enhancing Kazakhstan’s regional leadership capacity. The paper concludes by emphasizing that Kazakhstan’s geographic advantages, resource potential, and forward-looking, inclusive approach to regional cooperation position it to further strengthen its leadership role in future integration processes.
