This book investigates the roles that ideas and constructs
associated with Eurasia have played in the making of Kazakhstan's
foreign policy during the Nazarbaev era. This book delves into the
specific Eurasia-centric narratives through which the regime,
headed by Nursultan Nazarbaev, imagined the role of post-Soviet
Kazakhstan in the wider Eurasian geopolitical space. Based on
substantive fieldwork and sustained engagement with primary
sources, the book unveils the power implications of Kazakhstani
neo-Eurasianism, arguing that the strengthening of the regime's
domestic power ranked highly in the list of objectives pursued by
Kazakhstani foreign policy between the collapse of the Soviet Union
and Nazarbaev's apparent withdrawal from the Kazakhstani political
scene (19 March 2019). This book, ultimately, is a study of
inter-state integration, which makes use of a rigorous
methodological approach to assess different incarnations of
post-Soviet multilateralism, from the Commonwealth of Independent
States to the more recent, and highly controversial, Eurasian
Economic Union. This book offers a ground-breaking analysis of
Kazakhstani foreign policy in the Nazarbaev era. It will be of
interest to students and scholars of Central Asian Politics,
International Relations and Security Studies.
