Nursultan Nazarbayev

Despite its regional outreach, Kazakhstan's diplomatic priority will remain Russia, China, and Europe.

If it walks like a president, talks like a president, and has powers on par with a president...

Tokayev spoke at the UN of the need for a “profound political transformation” in Kazakhstan. But to date, his leadership has represented continuity.

A political transition has opened new space for expressing discontent, especially among young Kazakhs.

On June 9, Kazakhstan will elect its first non-Nazarbayev president.

Kazakhstan’s first president resigned, but he remains fundamentally intertwined with the state.

As Kazakhstan undergoes its first power transition, the awakening of public politics is inevitable.

While Kazakhstan may have a more vibrant media space than Uzbekistan, the trends in each country are moving in opposite directions.

The protest mood looks likely to grow as Kazakhstan approaches snap presidential elections.

A handful of people will technically run for the Kazakh presidency, but are they just “puppets” in a play?

One really has to wonder what the point of all this political theater has been?
