Data confidence 85 high
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of international transport corridors on geopolitical and economic stability in Central Asia and Eurasia, focusing on Kazakhstan and Poland as key transit hubs. The research highlights the political, economic, and security factors influencing their strategic importance. Transport corridors are crucial for regional stability, economic growth, and integration into global logistics networks. They reduce reliance on unstable external routes, enhance security, and stimulate investment, employment, and local industry growth. A comparative analysis reveals Kazakhstan’s focus on international investment and integration projects, while Poland applies EU-standardized approaches for coordinating transport flows. Both countries integrate transport strategies into their national security policies to transform geographical advantages into assets for sustainable development, economic independence, and protection against external threats.
