"Direttrici e orientamenti del Kazakhstan indipendente"
Twenty-five years after
obtaining independence, Kazakhstan is a
success story among the post-Soviet Central
Asian republics. Relying on the abundance
of oil and gas and on a moderate and multi-
vector foreign policy, the country has managed
to carve out a space for visibility on
the international scene, asserting itself as a
reliable partner. The state-building process
has been deeply influenced by president
Nursultan Nazarbaev (in office since the
independence) and his vision of economic
development. Due to the fall in oil prices,
Kazakhstan is going through a difficult economic
situation. Therefore, diversifying
production has become more and more urgent.
So far, several programs have been
planned in detail, although they will be fully
implemented in the medium-long term. Besides
a full awareness of the economic potential,
a parallel maturation of the political
framework is still lacking.
