The article is devoted to a comprehensive analysis of the strategic culture of the Central Asian countries, focusing on its multifactorial nature. The study examines the historical, cultural, political, and socio-economic determinants that influence the formation and evolution of strategic culture in the region. Central Asia has a long and complex history, including periods of conquest, colonialism, and independence. These historical events had a significant impact on the formation of national identities and strategic priorities. The Central Asian countries are located at the intersection of important trade routes and have strategic importance for regional and global players. This determines their interest in ensuring stability and security in the region, as well as economic development, social processes and political systems. Traditional values, religion and cultural norms play an important role in shaping the strategic culture of Central Asia. The region is influenced by external factors such as the policies of neighboring states, the activities of international organizations and global trends. These factors determine the specifics of strategic thinking and behavior in international relations of Central Asian states. The results obtained represent a valuable resource for in-depth understanding of the modern foreign policy strategies of countries in the region, as well as for developing effective approaches to their interaction at the global level. The article is based on materials from scientific reports presented by scientists at the international conference “Strategic cultures of Central Asian countries: factors of formation” held within the IX International Scientific and Practical Conference “Russia and the world: Dialogues – 2025: Strategies”.
