Kazakhstan’s Developmental Journey, 1st ed. 2021 Entrenched Paradigms, Achievements, and the Challenge of Global Competitiveness

Langue : Anglais

Coordonnateurs : Koulouri Anastasia, Mouraviev Nikolai

Couverture de l’ouvrage Kazakhstan’s Developmental Journey
This book discusses Kazakhstan?s transitioning trajectory to a market economy since it declared its independence from the Soviet Union in 1991.. It analyses the evolution of key policy areas and sectors through the lens of policy development and implementation, and evaluates their suitability in pursuing the country?s strategic objectives.  
Topics include policy initiatives for economic development, new policy paradigms in public service delivery and infrastructure improvement, and water-energy-food (WEF) nexus thinking in governing the WEF sectors. 
The book argues that policies developed in the 1990s and 2000s have so far served the nation?s needs. Nevertheless, as Kazakhstan seeks to achieve a competitive edge worldwide, many of these policies would require adjustment, or a paradigm shift.  
Providing a unique outlook on policy and governance, this book will appeal to scholars, students, and practitioners involvedwith Kazakhstan and Central Asia and interested in the transformation of ex-Soviet nations, their policy, and sustainable development.
