It first deals with the nature of Turkmenistan's rentier economy and its repercussions on domestic and foreign policies. Then it displays that in overall its domestic politics has continued under President Berdimuhamedov, but certain changes have occurred in its foreign policy directly affecting Turkmenistan's relations with the region and the world.
