  • Assessing the Competitiveness of Kazakhstan Regions: Creating an Index
    E3S Web of Conferences 159, 05002 (2020) https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/202015905002 BTSES-2020 Assessing the competitiveness of Kazakhstan regions: creating an index Aknur Zhidebekkyzy1,*, Rimma Sagiyeva1, Zhansaya Temerbulatova1 1Al-Farabi Kazakh National University, al-Farabi Ave. 71, 050040 Almaty, Kazakhstan Abstract. Today there is no single universally accepted method for assessing the competitiveness of the country's regions. For this reason, the research created a methodology for assessing competitiveness at the regional level for Kazakhstan. The three-factor model of Huggins for ranking the regions of Great Britain by the level of competitiveness was used as the basis, and then the model was expanded on the example of a study assessing the competitiveness of the regions of the European Union countries. All data for assessing the competitiveness of the regions of Kazakhstan were collected from the official website of the Committee on Statistics of the Ministry of National Economy of the Republic of Kazakhstan. In the article, 14 regions and 2 cities of republican significance were ranked in terms of competitiveness. As a result, the most competitive regions of Kazakhstan were Almaty city, Atyrau region and Nur-Sultan city, the worst indicator was found for the North Kazakhstan and Zhambyl regions. 1 Introduction Today, one of the highest priorities facing each state is increasing national competitiveness. National competitiveness reflects the country's ability to achieve high rates of economic growth and maintain it in the long run, control the efficient use of resources and compete in the international arena. For increasing the level of national competitiveness, it is important to understand its formation structure.

A second preparatory mission therefore had to be organized and took place in October 2000. It resulted in a new structure for the report, which was adapted to the many changes in the country that had occurred in the meantime. The review team for the project was constituted following these decisions and included national experts from Finland, France, Denmark, Germany, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain and Uzbekistan, together with the ECE secretariat, UNEP and the Bilthoven Division of the WHO European Centre for Environment and Health. The costs of the participation of experts from countries in transition, as well as the travel expenses of the ECE secretariat, were covered by extrabudgetary funds that had been made available from Finland, Germany and Italy.

Trin. Ex Steud.) is a highly productive wetland plant and a potentially valuable source of renewable biomass worldwide. There is more than 10 million ha of reed area globally, distributed mainly across Eurasia followed by America and Africa. The literature analysis in this paper revealed that Kazakhstan alone harbored ca. 1,600,000–3,000,000 ha of reed area, mostly distributed in the deltas and along the rivers of the country. Herein, we explored 1 the total reed biomass stock of 17 million t year− which is potentially available for harvesting in the context of wise use of wetlands.

    Y T I L I B A T N U O C C A E D U R C Y B D E R A P E R P THE KASHAGAN T OIL BUBBLE R O 7 1 P THE CASE OF AN OFFSHORE FIELD 0 E DEVELOPMENT IN KAZAKHSTAN R 2 SUMMARY This report offers an overview of the political and economic reasons behind the development of Kazakhstan’s part of the Caspian Sea since the country's independence, with a particular focus on Kashagan, believed to be one of the world’s largest oilfields. One of Kazakhstan’s biggest oil projects, Kashagan is not only an international leader in budget blowouts, engineering missteps, and scandals but also one of the reasons why the country’s economic strategy relying on Caspian offshore hydrocarbon reserves has failed. The Kashagan story is about geopolitical gambling with “big oil” in the Caspian Sea and inflating the oil bubble in global markets. Sovereign Kazakhstan has become hostage to its oil sector and can face serious economic loss and an environmental disaster in the region by developing an oilfield as challenging as Kashagan. 2 FOREWORD Younger people today would find it hard to even imagine how much “big oil” and the prospects of the country becoming a new oil giant was discussed in Kazakhstan in the first decade of its independence. It was like a mass craze in the upper levels of government. Estimated volumes of oil yet to be produced and oil revenues yet to be gained were growing exponentially like in a fairy tale, transforming Kazakhstan, by a mere wish, into a new Kuwait on the Caspian shore.

ISBN 978-1-901795-79-0 ii Preface There has been an upsurge of interest in Central Asian oil and gas in the post-Soviet era, but it remains a difficult region for researchers. Data is incomplete and conflicting, projects are technically complex and subject to delays and cost increases, and the impact of internal and external economic and political pressures on these projects continues to be unpredictable. Kazakhstan is already a major oil exporter, but the country also has a substantial gas industry and very considerable resource potential. Because of the lack of clarity surrounding this potential, I asked Shamil Yenikeyeff to write this study focussing on Kazakh gas export potential, also encompassing more general political and energy issues. Currently all Central Asian gas exports (outside that region) are purchased by Gazprom for onward sale to (mainly) CIS countries. But with a pipeline connection to China planned for completion by the end of 2009, and a number of proposals to bring Central Asian gas to European markets by pipeline, competition is becoming more intense.

    SOVYETLER BİRLİĞİ’NİN KAZAKİSTAN POLİTİKASI (1927-1938) Pamukkale Üniversitesi Sosyal Bilimler Enstitüsü Doktora Tezi Tarih Anabilim Dalı Doktora Programı Ainur ARKHYMATAYEVA Danışman: Prof. Dr. Ercan HAYTOĞLU HAZİRAN 2021 DENİZLİ ii DOKTORA TEZİ ONAY FORMU iii BİLİMSEL ETİK SAYFASI Bu tezin tasarımı, hazırlanması, yürütülmesi, araştırmalarının yapılması ve bulguların analizlerinde bilimsel etiğe ve akademik kurallara özenle riayet edildiğini; bu çalışmanın doğrudan birincil ürünü olmayan bulguların, verilerin ve materyallerin bilimsel etiğe uygun olarak kaynak gösterildiğini ve alıntı yapılan çalışmalara atıfta bulunduğunu beyan ederim. Ainur ARKHYMATAYEVA iv ÖNSÖZ Sovyetler Birliği 22,4 milyon kilometre karelik topraklarıyla çok büyük bir ülkeydi. SSCB bakiyesi olduğu Çarlık Rus İmparatorluğu gibi Orta Asya bölgesini kendi topraklarının bir uzantısı olarak görüyordu. Bir ucundan öbür ucuna 10.500 km mesafe bulunan bu büyük ülkenin toprakları dünyanın en büyük hammadde kaynaklarına sahipti. Bu nedenle eski Sovyet sistemi dış ticarete kısmen bağımlılık gösteren kendi geniş iç pazarıyla kapalı bir sistemdi. Orta Asya ise, Türkler için tarihin başlangıcından beri yüksek önemi haiz bir coğrafya idi. Tezin temelini sosyalist inşa yıllarında SSCB politikalarının Kazakistan siyasi, sosyo-ekonomik, eğitim ve kültürel alanı üzerindeki etkileri oluşturmaktadır. Tez ayrıca SSCB'nin Kazakistan politikasını 1927-1938 yılları içinde ele almaktadır. Tez; Giriş, üç bölüm, sonuç ve eklerden oluşmuştur. Bölümler, kronolojik tarihe paralel olarak kademeli bir şekilde sunulmuştur. Çarlık Rus İmparatorluğu’nun Kazak Hanlığı döneminden, SSCB’nin Stalin dönemine kadar önemli gelişmeleri bölümlerin ara başlıklarında ele alınmıştır. Tezde yerleşim yerlerinin adları, kişi adları ile soyadları orijinal haliyle verilmiştir.
