Abstract

In 2015, Kazakhstan joined WTO. IN 2017, it had a dispute with Ukraine on anti-dumping duties. During this process, Kazakhstan has made significant reforms in various domains. It complied with and defected the rules of WTO. Therefore, this essay's main topic is to research why Kazakhstan decided to join the WTO and the logic behind a case study of a dispute between the WTO of Kazakhstan and Ukraine, showing why an individual state would defect from an international organization. This paper will mainly discuss the event from the perspective of neorealism theories, showing that the relative gain theory deeply affects Kazakhstan's participation in international politics. Its policies and behaviours are also influenced by the priority of survival and the need of dominance since it is long threatened by neighbouring countries such as Uzbekistan and Russia. Therefore, Kazakhstan is eager to join WTO to benefit economically, reduce its dependence on Russia and step toward a dominating state in central Asia. In conclusion, the essay advances knowledge regarding Kazakhstan's WTO membership and the variables that influence a country's participation, which may contribute to future advancements in both theories and the WTO itself. This essay's limitations, such as the absence of alternative viewpoints on the incident, are also examined.
