  • The Analysis of Women's Marital Rights in Kazakhstan
    The Analysis of Women’s Marital Rights in Kazakhstan: Challenges of Gender Equality. Aizhan Kapysheva. Nazarbayev University. 2014. In spite of numerous legal agreements, women in Kazakhstan are faced with discrimination and inequality both at work and at home. The following research will focus particularly on the problems such as involuntary marriage of underage girls and denial of husbands of paying alimony when divorced. It can be suggested that women’s rights (the dependent variable) have a relationship with the level of country’s development, including urbanization, education, female unemployment and mortality rates. It is important to highlight the impact of culture and history of the nature of marriages in Kazakhstan. Negative relationship between the variables could further result in decreasing women’s participation in the political and social life of Kazakhstan. With this paper I would like to analyze the situation of women’s rights in the society in the Republic of Kazakhstan and, in particular, to highlight the problems that young women face. According to the experts from the United Nations, gender issues are the third most important global issue after threats to peace and the environment, and a large body of scholarship suggests that these other two issues are actually closely associated with gender as well. By improving the role of women in the society, it is possible to address the issues of equality, non-discrimination and tolerance, which may consequently lead to the development of the state. In spite of numerous agreements and ratification of internationally accepted frameworks, such as Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), the Vienna Declaration and Programme of Action of the World Conference on Human Rights (ratified on the 25th of June 1993), European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), women in Kazakhstan are often faced with discrimination and inequality both at work and at home.

  • Mystery on Baker Street
    MYSTERY ON BAKER STREET BRUTAL KAZAKH OFFICIAL LINKED TO £147M LONDON PROPERTY EMPIRE Big chunks of Baker Street are owned by a mysterious figure with close ties to a former Kazakh secret police chief accused of murder and money-laundering. JULY 2015 1 MYSTERY ON BAKER STREET Brutal Kazakh official linked to £147m London property empire EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The ability to hide and spend suspect cash overseas is a large part of what makes serious corruption and organised crime attractive. After all, it is difficult to stuff millions under a mattress. You need to be able to squirrel the money away in the international financial system, and then find somewhere nice to spend it. Increasingly, London’s high-end property market seems to be one of the go-to destinations to give questionable funds a veneer of respectability. It offers lawyers who sell secrecy for a living, banks who ask few questions, top private schools for your children and a glamorous lifestyle on your doorstep. Throw in easy access to anonymously-owned offshore companies to hide your identity and the source of your funds and it is easy to see why Rakhat Aliyev. (Credit: SHAMIL ZHUMATOV/X00499/Reuters/Corbis) London’s financial system is so attractive to those with something to hide. Global Witness’ investigations reveal numerous links This briefing uncovers a troubling example of how between Rakhat Aliyev, Nurali Aliyev, and high-end London can be used by anyone wanting to hide London property.

  • Almaty–Issyk-Kul Alternative Road Economic Impact Assessment
    Almaty–Issyk-Kul Alternative Road Economic Impact Assessment Almaty, a vibrant metropolis in Kazakhstan, is only kilometers away from lake Issyk-Kul in the Kyrgyz Republic, renowned for its mountains and moderate summers. However, the two destinations are separated by two magnificent mountain ranges. To bypass these mountains, the existing road stretches over ­ kilometers, leading to long travel times. This economic impact assessment analyzes what impact a more direct road between the two destinations would have for tourism and economic development in both Kazakhstan and the Kyrgyz Republic. The report provides economically viable solutions that, within a supportive policy environment, would lead to strong economic development within the region. About Almaty–Bishkek Economic Corridor The Almaty–Bishkek Economic Corridor (ABEC) is the pilot economic corridor under the Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) Program. The motivation for ABEC is that Almaty and Bishkek can achieve far more together than either can achieve alone. The two cities are only ­ kilometers apart with relatively high economic density concentrated in services in the cities and agriculture in their hinterlands. Both Kazakhstan and the Kyrgyz Republic have acceded to the Eurasian Economic Union and the World Trade Organization. CAREC corridors and Belt and Road Initiative routes cross ABEC. The historic Silk Route, mountain ranges, and Lake lssyk-Kul underline the potential for tourism. But trade, especially in agricultural goods and services, between the two countries is below potential, and the region does not yet benefit from being one economic space. About the Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation Program The Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) Program is a partnership of member countries and development partners working together to promote development through cooperation, leading to accelerated economic growth and poverty reduction.

  • 11 an Analysis of the Internal Structure of Kazakhstan's Political
    11 Dosym SATPAEV An Analysis of the Internal Structure of Kazakhstan’s Political Elite and an Assessment of Political Risk Levels∗ Without understating the distinct peculiarities of Kazakhstan’s political development, it must be noted that the republic’s political system is not unique. From the view of a typology of political regimes, Kazakhstan possesses authoritarian elements that have the same pluses and minuses as dozens of other, similar political systems throughout the world. Objectivity, it must be noted that such regimes exist in the majority of post-Soviet states, although there has lately been an attempt by some ideologues to introduce terminological substitutes for authoritarianism, such as with the term “managed democracy.” The main characteristic of most authoritarian systems is the combina- tion of limited pluralism and possibilities for political participation with the existence of a more or less free economic space and successful market reforms. This is what has been happening in Kazakhstan, but it remains ∗ Editor’s note: The chapter was written in 2005, and the information contained here has not necessarily been updated. Personnel changes in 2006 and early 2007 include the fol- lowing: Timur Kulibaev became vice president of Samruk, the new holding company that manages the state shares of KazMunayGas and other top companies; Kairat Satybaldy is now the leader of the Muslim movement “Aq Orda”; Nurtai Abykaev was appointed am- bassador to Russia; Bulat Utemuratov became presidential property manager; and Marat Tazhin was appointed minister of foreign affairs. 283 Dosym SATPAEV important to determine which of the three types of authoritarian political systems—mobilized, conservative, or modernizing (that is, capable of political reform)—exists in Kazakhstan.

    Kazak Journalists Mull Pegasus Attack Despite numbers apparently targeted, no official investigation is forthcoming. When Kazak journalist Serikzhan Mauletbay discovered he was on the list of those targeted by Pegasus spyware, he was astonished. “I thought I might be bugged, but I could not even imagine being on the Pegasus list,” said Mauletbay, whose work has including covering protests and reporting on the most recent parliamentary elections. “I do not know how long they spied on me, why they did it, what were the results, or what they found,” he continued. “I only noticed that my phone lost its charge very quickly, but I could not tell for sure that there was surveillance.” Research recently released by the Organised Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) showed that countries around the world were using Pegasus, a spyware product made by the Israeli cyber intelligence company NSO Group. Serikzhan Mauletbay. Personal photo The company has insisted that their software was created to track terrorists and criminals, but in reality it has been used to spy on officials, journalists, activists and oligarchs. Those targeted received an SMS message with a link, which when followed allowed the device to be monitored. More recently, Pegasus has been updated to allow phones to be tracked simply by their number. A number of people in Kazakstan were among those targeted, according to the investigation, including President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, Prime Minister Askar Mamin and Almaty religious leader Bakhytzhan Sagintayev.

  • Parliamentary Elections 2021 Kazakhstan
    PARLIAMENTARY ELECTIONS 2021 KAZAKHSTAN Social media monitoring Final report (9 November 2020 - 9 January 2021) 8 February 2021 Bratislava Supported by INTRODUCTION Between 9 November 2020 and 9 January 2021, MEMO 98, a Slovak non-profit specialist media-monitoring organization, monitored social media in the run-up to the 10 January parliamentary elections in Kazakhstan. The monitoring included 48 different actors (political parties, politicians, media, and authorities) with accounts on Facebook and Instagram who produced a total of 29,342 posts on Facebook and 12,287 on Instagram. The posts generated as many 1,345,710 interactions on Facebook and 11,067,258 on Instagram. The main purpose of the monitoring was to determine the impact of social media on electoral integrity and the extent to which social media provide important information that voters need in their decision making.[1]While in general, for most people, television remains to be the primary source of information about politics, the growing relevance of social media inspired us to focus on Facebook and Instagram in our monitoring.[2]Such monitoring of social media was done for the first time in the context of the Kazakh elections. The monitoring also focused on how selected media report on candidates in their Facebook accounts and what topics and issues are discussed by political parties and selected media in the context of elections. As for the actual social media sample, we focused on official pages of political parties, individual politicians, media, and authorities on Facebook and Instagram. 1)2020 World Press Freedom Index from Reporters Without Borders ranks Kazakhstan as 157 (out of 180 countries), assessed as a country with ‘very serious situation’ (which is the worst category).
