POLITICAL REFORMS IN KAZAKHSTAN: New course of the President Tokayev

published 2021-02-28 00:02:00

Introduction

The change of national leadership in Kazakhstan in March 2019 marked the end of the first crucial political chapter – 28 years long – of the history of the independent Republic. It was therefore an important opportunity for a consolidation of those achievements, reevaluation of the relationship between the state and society and a reset of the country's political system, leading to implementation of those political, social, and economic transformations necessary to face a new generation of modern challenges. At the same time, the initial two years (March 2019-March 2021) of the presidency of Kassym-Jomart Tokayev were marked by serious tests of strength for him personally, for the government, and for the country itself. The most far-reaching of these tests is the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, with enormous negative health, economic, and social consequences in almost all areas. In response to this crisis, the President took many measures for the stabilization of the situation and the further development of the country. He should also be credited with continuity and consistency in the implementation of the reform process he declared at the very beginning of his inauguration. This report presents an objective assessment of the political and socio-economic changes taking place in Kazakhstan in the context of the political course of the current leadership of the country.
