  • Foreign Minister Idrissov
    Time to ban nuclear weapons testing forever BY ERLAN IDRISSOV, MINISTER FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS OF KAZAKHSTAN The story of Kazakhstan's independence is intricately linked to the banning of nuclear testing and the renunciation of nuclear weapons. On 29 August 1991, Kazakhstan became the first country in the world to close a nuclear test site on its territory. The decision by President Nursultan Nazarbayev to close the Semipalatinsk nuclear test site where the Soviet Union carried out more than 450 nuclear weapon tests was welcomed by the people of Kazakhstan, and helped lead to the country's declaration of independence on 16 December 1991.

  • Welfare Reforms in Post-Soviet States: a Comparison
    WELFARE REFORMS IN POST-SOVIET STATES: A COMPARISON OF SOCIAL BENEFITS REFORM IN RUSSIA AND KAZAKHSTAN by ELENA MALTSEVA A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Political Science University of Toronto © Copyright by Elena Maltseva (2012) Welfare Reforms in Post-Soviet States: A Comparison of Social Benefits Reform in Russia and Kazakhstan Elena Maltseva Doctor of Philosophy Political Science University of Toronto (2012) Abstract: Concerned with the question of why governments display varying degrees of success in implementing social reforms, (judged by their ability to arrive at coherent policy outcomes), my dissertation aims to identify the most important factors responsible for the stagnation of social benefits reform in Russia, as opposed to its successful implementation in Kazakhstan. Given their comparable Soviet political and economic characteristics in the immediate aftermath of Communism’s disintegration, why did the implementation of social benefits reform succeed in Kazakhstan, but largely fail in Russia? I argue that although several political and institutional factors did, to a certain degree, influence the course of social benefits reform in these two countries, their success or failure was ultimately determined by the capacity of key state actors to frame the problem and form an effective policy coalition that could further the reform agenda despite various political and institutional obstacles and socioeconomic challenges. In the case of Kazakhstan, the successful implementation of the social benefits reform was a result of a bold and skillful endeavour by Kazakhstani authorities, who used the existing conditions to justify the reform initiative and achieve the reform’s original objectives.

    THE SUBSTANCE Albert Hofmann’s LSD Un film de Martin Witz Durée: 89 min. Sortie: le 25 avril 2012 Download for pictures: www.frenetic.ch/films/847/pro/index.php RELATIONS PRESSE DISTRIBUTION Eric Bouzigon FRENETIC FILMS AG prochaine ag Bachstrasse 9 • 8038 Zürich Tél. 079 320 63 82 1 Tél. 044 488 44 00 • Fax 044 488 44 11 [email protected] www.frenetic.ch SYNOPSIS “ Three drops of this colorless, odorless, tasteless liquid would put you out of your mind for hours! – If you haven’t heard of LSD, you will! “ En 1943, le chimiste Albert Hofmann fait dans son laboratoire bâlois la découverte d’une substance jusqu’alors inconnue. La testant sur lui-même, il prend conscience de l’extrême puissance de ce principe actif permettant de modifier radicalement la perception humaine. Il ignore encore que son LSD va changer le monde. Dans les années 1950, les psychiatres recourent au LSD comme médicament et celui-ci devient un outil d’exploration de la psyché humaine. Le phénomène prend toute son ampleur lorsque cette « bombe atomique de l’esprit » se propage hors de l’hôpital au début des années 1960 : le LSD semble fait pour les gens en marge de la société d’abondance. Au début des années 1970, cette substance à l’effet traître est mise sur liste noire. À l’heure où certaines drogues psychédéliques pourraient être utilisées dans un cadre légal, s’apprête- t-on à reconsidérer aujourd’hui le LSD comme un médicament, à l’instar d’Albert Hofmann ? THE SUBSTANCE raconte l'histoire de notre relation trouble avec le LSD, depuis ses origines jusqu'à aujourd'hui.

  • 6. Current Status of the Environment
    6. Current Status of the Environment 6.1. Natural Environment 6.1.1. Desertification Kazakhstan has more deserts within its territory than any other Central Asian country, and approximately 66% of the national land is vulnerable to desertification in various degrees. Desertification is expanding under the influence of natural and artificial factors, and some people, called “environmental refugees,” are obliged to leave their settlements due to worsened living environments. In addition, the Government of RK (Republic of Kazakhstan) issued an alarm in the “Environmental Security Concept of the Republic of Kazakhstan 2004-2015” that the crisis of desertification is not only confined to Kazakhstan but could raise problems such as border-crossing emigration caused by the rise of sandstorms as well as the transfer of pollutants to distant locations driven by large air masses. (1) Major factors for desertification Desertification is taking place due to the artificial factors listed below as well as climate, topographic and other natural factors. • Accumulated industrial wastes after extraction of mineral resources and construction of roads, pipelines and other structures • Intensive grazing of livestock (overgrazing) • Lack of farming technology • Regulated runoff to rivers • Destruction of forests 1) Extraction of mineral resources Wastes accumulated after extraction of mineral resources have serious effects on the land. Exploration for oil and natural gas requires vast areas of land reaching as much as 17 million hectares for construction of transportation systems, approximately 10 million hectares of which is reportedly suffering ecosystem degradation. 2) Overgrazing Overgrazing is the abuse of pastures by increasing numbers of livestock. In the grazing lands in mountainous areas for example, the area allocated to each sheep for grazing is 0.5 hectares, compared to the typical grazing space of 2 to 4 hectares per sheep.
