Abstract
This article examines the internal and external factors influencing the formation of international relations in the Central Asian region, focusing on water resource usage and transport corridors. It analyzes factors that contribute to geopolitical stability.
Additionally, it addresses new perspectives on regional stability prospects, particularly discussing the new challenge of the role of artificial intelligence in geopolitics and the region’s space politics.
The article discusses the geopolitical status of the region’s transport corridors and water resource usage in domestic and foreign policy. As a result, several studies are put forward, and a geostrategic stability model for the Central Asian region is proposed.
