About the Book
At the outset of independence 10 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, and it appeared that democracy
was beginning to take hold in this newly independent state. A decade later,
economic reform is mired in widespread corruption. A regime that flirted with
democracy is now laying the foundation for family-based, authoritarian rule.
This book examines the development of this ethnically diverse and strategically
vital nation. Kazakhstan: Unfulfilled Promise also looks at shortcomings
of U.S. policy in the region and at the future challenges that Kazakhstan will
pose to the United States and international institutions.
