Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to analyse the evolution of Turkmenistan’s external energy policy after 2022 in the context of the succession process. Despite greater openness to international cooperation, the political conditions in Turkmenistan that affect the functioning of the economy, including the energy sector, will be a systemic obstacle to more serious change. At the same time, Ashgabat’s policy will gradually move towards greater openness to cooperation with foreign partners. The analysis is based on the theoretical assumptions of historical institutionalism and rational choice theory.
