It is the largest, most resource-rich of the region’s five countries and tends to serve as a bellwether for the region’s politics. Kazakhstan is strategically and geographically the middleman between its fellow Central Asian states (all of which it borders except Tajikistan) and Russia and China. With an estimated 100 trillion cubic feet of natural gas and 27 billion barrels of oil, Kazakhstan boasts more energy reserves than all four of the other Central Asian countries combined. Kazakhstan was the first Central Asian country in which Westerners seriously began developing oil and natural gas wealth after the Soviet collapse. Because of this, Kazakhstan has received more foreign direct investment than any other former Soviet state (including Russia). And most other Central Asian states with energy resources — Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan, for example — must traverse Kazakhstan to reach their customers, whether those customers are Russia, China or Europe, making Kazakhstan essential to any outsider with designs on the region. But its geographic location and size have proved to be a mixed blessing. Kazakhstan is roughly one-third the size of the lower 48 U.S. states, but has only 5 percent of the U.S.

    SELECTED WORKS OF CHOKAN VALIKHANOV CHOKAN OF WORKS SELECTED SELECTED WORKS OF CHOKAN VALIKHANOV Pioneering Ethnographer and Historian of the Great Steppe When Chokan Valikhanov died of tuberculosis in 1865, aged only 29, the Russian academician Nikolai Veselovsky described his short life as ‘a meteor flashing across the field of oriental studies’. Set against his remarkable output of official reports, articles and research into the history, culture and ethnology of Central Asia, and more important, his Kazakh people, it remains an entirely appropriate accolade. Born in 1835 into a wealthy and powerful Kazakh clan, he was one of the first ‘people of the steppe’ to receive a Russian education and military training. Soon after graduating from Siberian Cadet Corps at Omsk, he was taking part in reconnaissance missions deep into regions of Central Asia that had seldom been visited by outsiders. His famous mission to Kashgar in Chinese Turkestan, which began in June 1858 and lasted for more than a year, saw him in disguise as a Tashkent mer- chant, risking his life to gather vital information not just on current events, but also on the ethnic make-up, geography, flora and fauna of this unknown region. Journeys to Kuldzha, to Issyk-Kol and to other remote and unmapped places quickly established his reputation, even though he al- ways remained inorodets – an outsider to the Russian establishment. Nonetheless, he was elected to membership of the Imperial Russian Geographical Society and spent time in St Petersburg, where he was given a private audience by the Tsar. Wherever he went he made his mark, striking up strong and lasting friendships with the likes of the great Russian explorer and geographer Pyotr Petrovich Semyonov-Tian-Shansky and the writer Fyodor Dostoyevsky.
