Abstract
The relevance of this study is driven by the increasing dynamics of contracts concluded between the Republic of Kazakhstan and the People’s Republic of China, as well as the lack of research on the comparison of contractual legal structures between the two countries and their criminological implications. The purpose of this study is to conduct a comparative analysis of the contract legislation of China and Kazakhstan, identify common and distinctive features, and explore the criminological impacts of these differences. The study reveals that the contract law of China and Kazakhstan share some similarities, such as the concept of a contract and the basic principles of contractual relations. The differences between the two countries’ contract law and enforcement approaches highlight the importance of the legal environment in shaping the behaviour, risk assessment, and decision-making processes of parties involved in
contractual relationships.
