Description - Kazakhstan by Martha Brill Olcott
At the outset of independence 18 years ago, Kazakhstan’s leaders promised that the country’s rich natural resources, with oil and gas reserves among the largest in the world, would soon bring economic prosperity. It appeared that
democracy was beginning to take hold in this newly independent state. Nearly two
decades later, Kazakhstan has achieved the World Bank’s ranking of a “middle
economic country,” but its economy is straining from the global economic crisis. The country’s political system still needs fundamental reform before Kazakhstan can be considered a democracy. Kazakhstan: Unfulfilled Promise
examines the development of this ethnically diverse and strategically vital nation, which seeks to play an influential role on the international stage.
