Abstract

In the context of globalization, Kazakhstan's socio-political and economic development is closely linked to the process of international integration, where effective communication and exchange play a crucial role. A critical challenge for the state is to maintain social, political, and economic stability while simultaneously fostering integration with other nations and ethnic groups. One of the most pressing tasks in this regard is the preservation of national self-identification, ensuring that ethnic and cultural diversity strengthens societal cohesion rather than leading to fragmentation.

Kazakhstan has successfully established a harmonious system of interethnic relations, grounded in a shared civic consciousness, the traditional values of the Kazakh people, and the distinct national identities of various ethnic groups. This multicultural interaction facilitates the assimilation of universal human values and the core principles of modern civilization, including a market economy, political democracy, legal and social justice, cultural heritage, high moral ideals, and scientific progress. The study explores the mechanisms through which Kazakhstan navigates the balance between national identity preservation and global integration, offering insights into the broader implications for state policy and sustainable development in diverse societies.
