This edited book looks to analyse the political aspects of this event more specifically by trying to understand its political significance for the country’s policies, the prospects of democratisation, the uniqueness of the transition compared with others that have previously occurred in the region and how it may play an influential part in future political transitions in this part of the world. This book will interest scholars of authoritarian politics, scholars of Central Asia, and those researching the Belt and Road Initiative.Steppe and beyond2524-8367DemocratizationKazakhstanKazakhstanPolitics and government1991-Democratization958.45086Caron Jean-François1980-MiAaPQMiAaPQUtOrBLWBOOK9910484858503321Understanding Kazakhstan's 2019 political transition2851779UNINA
