Purpose of the research – Authors assess the impact of six governance indicators, as follows: Voice and Accountability, Political stability and absence of violence/terrorism, Government effectiveness, Regulatory Quality, Rule of Law and Control of Corruption on Foreign direct investment in Kazakhstan.

Research methodology – the ARDL model (autoregressive distributed lag model) was used and the data are taken from the official website of the World Data Bank and cover the period of 2002-2022 years.

The significance of the research – is that it is one of the first studies in this area and assesses how important government indicators are for foreign investors and in what direction government policy should be directed.

Research results – the research showed that the rule of law and anti-corruption indicators do not affect foreign investment flows in either the short or long term. Other indicators have some short-term and long-term impact. Analyzing the situation in the country and the world, the authors concluded that the lack of influence of these two indicators is explained by the fact that foreign investment flows are mainly directed to the mineral resources sector.

The Purpose of the Research is to demonstrate common flood risk management practices and national policies aimed at solving this problem, based on a comprehensive analysis of scientific articles published in the Scopus database. the framework of the work, the features of state support and interaction of various stakeholders in natural disasters are considered, and key areas and strategies used to minimize flood damage are highlighted.

Research objectives

1. To identify the dynamics and main trends in scientific publications on floods and public risk management.
2. To conduct a content analysis of publications in Scopus in order to identify key areas, concepts and strategies used in scientific papers.
3. To separate the forms of government support and stakeholder participation presented in the studies of different countries.
4. Systematize international experience and identify common and distinctive features of national flood control strategies.
5. Identify the main methods of national experience in state flood control management

Research Methods – In the course of analyzing and evaluating international experience in government support during natural disasters, the author applied the following research methods:

Content Analysis: This method enabled the identification of the main directions of scientific research related to government support during floods. Content analysis contributed to the understanding of the depth of study of key concepts such as "flood protection measures," "government support during floods," "crisis management in public administration," and "disaster resilience." This method also allowed for the systematization and structuring of various approaches to risk management in different countries.

Systemic Approach: The application of the systemic approach allowed for the identification and classification of the main categories of state and stakeholder participation in the implementation of protective and recovery measures during floods. This included analyzing the degree of involvement of government bodies, public organizations, and the private sector in disaster management processes. The systemic approach also enabled the author to assess the relationships between different levels of management and their impact on the effectiveness of the measures taken.

Originality/Value of the Research – The article presents unique features of the implementation of flood protection measures and government support for citizens during floods in various countries. The author provides a detailed analysis and classification of the main categories of government assistance in this area, allowing for a view of the different models and strategies used in different parts of the world. The author highlights and presents in a table the main categories of government assistance in this field. The results of the review can be used for conducting research and developing disaster management strategies in different regions.
