비대칭적 상호의존론에 입각한 타지키스탄의 식량안보 분석 = Food Security Analysis in Tajikistan Based on Asymmetric Interdependence Theory

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study conducted an analysis of Tajikistan's food security issues from an external perspective. Although Tajikistan internally promoted policies to strengthen food security after the independence from the former Soviet Union, but it experiences food instability depending on its relations with Russia and Kazakhstan. As a result, Tajikistan's food security was analyzed based on the theory of asymmetric interdependence. The analysis found that Tajikistan had a high asymmetric interdependence on Russia and Kazakhstan. Tajikistan was in a food crisis when relations with major trading partners changed, including Kazakhstan's wheat export restrictions, Russia's cancellation of oil duty-free agreements, and Western economic sanctions in 2014 and 2022. Serious asymmetrical relationships in food security have a significant impact on survival security. Therefore, Tajikistan should reduce its asymmetric dependence on major trading partners to strengthen food security, diversify relations with other countries, and increase its competitiveness so that it can become internally self-reliant.
