In their exploration of more than one thousand years of
institutional development, the chapters analyse and assess the
development of political arrangements and governance, and economic
institutions, from pre-Russian colonization through to the Soviet
experiment, and then take a magnifying glass to developments in a
post-Soviet, independent Kazakhstan. Using a broad range of sources
and data across disciplines, this book is the first explicitly to
survey Kazakhstan's transition as a function of its history, its
people and its institutions. Breaking new ground in institutional
economics, it provides readers with a comprehensive examination of
the history and development of Kazakhstan, and points to where it
may be heading in the 21st century.
After decades of intense interest and rivalry with the USA, the end
of the Cold War and the dismantling of the USSR officially marked a
period of significant retreat of Russia from the Middle East and
North Africa (MENA). However, with Russia's economic recovery and
the entrenchment of President Vladimir Putin, Russia's interest in
the region has risen anew. Once again seen as a battleground to
contest US hegemony, Russia has expanded its political, military
and (to a lesser extent) economic relationships across the region.
Most apparent in the military intervention in Syria, Russia has
also been engaged with traditional rivals Iran, Saudi Arabia and
Turkey, stepping into the vacuum left by the US Obama
Administration. Is Russia's reengagement part of a strategy, or is
it mere opportunism? Authors with different backgrounds,
experiences and origins examine this question via an analysis of
the historical drivers of Russian interest in the MENA region and
the factors underlying current Russian policies.
