Since 2014,the overall situation of Kazakhstan has been stable. The government mechanism and high level personnel have witnessed bigger changes. But the problem of successor has been watered down,because Mr. Nazarbayev clearly stated that he would continue to run president in 2015. In 2014,influenced by the decline of energy prices in the world market and Russia’s economic slowdown,Kazakhstan faced economic crisis which scarcely appeared in recent years,and each of the economic indicators has been lowered. Standing up to the economic recession,the Kazakhstani Government has flagged a new economic policy of “Sunny Road” which was regarded as counter measures to the crisis and it was trying to turn around the economic depression. In 2014,the policy of balance between the big powers by Kazakhstan has been accomplished with ease and signing of the EAEU treaties with Russia and Belarus has become the most important issue in its activities of foreign affairs. Though the prospect of the development for EAEU was likely to be twisted,as the highest-level integration organization in the area of Commonwealth of Independent States,the EAEU would make great impact on the decision-making for policies in home and foreign affairs.
