华体会 will host a discussion on the recent resignation of President Nursultan Nazarbayev and the future of Kazakhstan. Nursultan Nazarbayev鈥檚 sudden resignation as president of Kazakhstan on March 19鈥攁 post he had occupied since the country鈥檚 independence in 1990鈥攎arked the end of a tenure characterized by corruption, electoral fraud, and human rights abuses. Or did it?
Far from retiring quietly, Nazarbayev continues to exercise authority over Kazakhstan, designating himself Leader of the Nation and retaining control of the influential national security council. Experts have explained his move from president to powerbroker as a new kind of authoritarian transition鈥攐ne that could even provide a future model for Vladimir Putin. Heavily influenced by Russia and China, Kazakhstan is an increasingly important strategic consideration for the United States. The future of Nazarbayev鈥檚 regime will have significant implications for U.S. engagement in Central Asia and beyond.
