This article explores the collision of two bureaucratic systems at a local nongovernmental organization in Kazakhstan. In response to budget cuts by Western donors, NGO employees decided to make it an "international" organization. At first glance, being international echoes neoliberal notions of the worker and workplace that clash with the current prikaz (decree) system, a Soviet legacy and Kazakhstani bureaucratic order. Through close ethnographic analysis, I ask not only what neoliberalism means in this context but also what its appeal is to local actors. Although these two systems seem at odds with each other, they are more fluid than they first appear. I argue that being international is a process of neoliberalization in which the staff draw on their experiences with, and the language of, their international donors to adapt to an unstable funding climate, while navigating the demands of Kazakhstani bureaucracy
