СТАТЬЯ:
The aim of this article is to analyse the evolution of Turkmenistan’s external
energy policy after 2022 in the context of the succession process. Despite greater openness
to international cooperation, the political conditions in Turkmenistan that affect the
functioning of the economy, including the energy sector, will be a systemic obstacle to more
serious change. At the same time, Ashgabat’s policy will gradually move towards greater
openness to cooperation with foreign partners. The analysis is based on the theoretical
assumptions of historical institutionalism and rational choice theory.
