The Evolution of Kаzakhstan's Position on Relations with Russia in 1991-2010

Vinokurov, Evgeny (2010): The Evolution of Kаzakhstan's Position on Relations with Russia in 1991-2010.

Abstract

The paper is focused on the official Kazakhstani position towards Russia and its development over 1991-2000, i.e. the two post-Soviet decades. We draw upon speeches by the representatives of the state, most importantly by Kazakhstan president Nursultan Nazarbayev, and the intergovernmental acts. The paper provides substantive analysis and structurisation of the evolution of the Kazakhstani official position towards relations with Russia. It also provides various aspects of interpretation of this process, as we set the rhetoric against the economic cycles and exogenous events.
