Food security of the word is in a big extent dependent on performance of the major grain producers, one of which is Kazakhstan. Grain production in Kazakhstan allows not only to meet domestic grain needs, but also to ensure a steady export. The country is a major global grain exporter and is one of the top ten countries in the world for wheat exports in recent years. It has been leading the export of flour in terms of high quality indicators. Creating an effective transport and logistics infrastructure in key export destinations, developing measures for transit countries, and increasing the level of state support for exports are among the tasks, implementation of which appears to be a precondition of sustainable food security.
Our paper is dealing with the issues of economic security and international relations in the European Union (EU) at the uncertain times of rethinking European security and sustainability in the face of Brexit and other challenges facing Europe.
The paper focuses on the EU issues from the point of view of the outside observer. It also discusses the EU neighborhood policies, EU energy balance and power nexus, as well as other economic and political challenges that might undermine the position of the EU in the rapidly changing world.
We analyze the EU economic and energy strategy and discuss the implications of Brexit on the EU economy and security in the world affairs. The paper tackles such important issues as energy security, economic security, international trade in the EU and the future of the Eurozone. Our results and implications might be useful for relevant policy-makers, EU decision-makers, relevant stakeholders as well as for the citizens of the EU residing both in the “new” and the “old” Member States who might want to get a non-involved expert insight into the European affairs and that possible pathways of its future development.
