This article overviews the role of energy resources as a foreign policy tool in Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan cases. These countries are the key energy players in the region. The article tries to analyze and show the inside of the oil policy of Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan in the Caspian region and the related problems. The article shows that Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan face several limitations to using their energy potential to have independent foreign policies. The article explains the main assumptions of the theoretical approaches on oil politics with a particular emphasis on the Caspian region. In this regard, the article deals with different ways of policy. Finally, it intends to apply theoretical models to explain the role of hydrocarbons in Azeri and Kazakh foreign policies.

В статье рассматриваются энергетические ресурсы в качестве инструментов внешней политики на примере Азербайджана и Казахстана. Данные страны являются одними из ключевых энергетических игроков в регионе. Автор статьи старается проанализировать и показать изнутри нефтяную политику Азербайджана и Казахстана в Каспийском регионе и связанные с ним проблемы. В статье показано, что Азербайджан и Казахстан сталкиваются с рядом ограничений на использование их энергетического потенциала, чтобы иметь независимую внешнюю политику. В статье описываются основные предположения теоретических подходов по нефтяной политике, с особым акцентом на Каспийский регион. В связи с этим в статье описываются различные пути внешней политики. В итоге показывается применение теоретических моделей для объяснения роли углеводородов в азербайджанской и казахской внешней политики.
