Change for the sake of continuity? Élite politics in post-Nazarbayev Kazakhstan (2019–2023)
Focusing on the case of Kazakhstan, this article offers novel insights on élite politics in post-personalist regime settings. By presenting an in-depth analysis of ruler–élite relations in the post-Nazarbayev years (2019–2023), we highlight striking continuities with cadre management modalities consolidated in Kazakhstan during the long Nazarbayev era (1992–2019), suggesting that the replication of élite management strategies is the direct conseq…

After Personalism
What happens to elites when the personalistic leader they supported for so long suddenly dies? This article tackles comparatively transitions out of first presidencies in Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan, presenting an analytical framework that seeks to explain why these transitions unfolded in relatively smooth fashion. The overall stability defining power transfer processes instigated by the non-violent death of personalistic rulers in both contexts…

Turkmenistan and the virtual politics of Eurasian energy
In December 2015, leaders from Central and South Asia took part in the ground-breaking ceremony for the Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India (TAPI) natural gas pipeline project. Sixteen months later, a confusing information flow continues to obfuscate external assessments of the project’s development: official rhetoric notwithstanding, there is no certainty on the details of project financing, while the pipeline route has yet to be determined.…
Dilemmas of Compatibility
This article examines in detail the political and economic relations that post-Soviet Kazakhstan established with member states of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). It argues that the underpinning compatibilities shared by the states in question led to the progressive failure of most initiatives attempting to connect Kazakhstan with the Arab Gulf. The paper devotes its initial attention to the detrimental influence that the logic of regime main…
The Tyranny of Pragmatism
The pragmatic interests of Kazakhstan and the European Union have profoundly influenced the relationship between them, preventing the establishment of successful cooperation in the human dimension. This article investigates these dynamics in detail, placing its spotlight on the role assigned to the relationship with the European Union in the most recent technologies of power devised by the Kazakhstani regime. Particular attention here will be dev…
Regime-building, identity-making and foreign policy
This article illustrates the evolution experienced by the identity-making strategies pursued through the propagandistic exploitation of Kazakhstani foreign policy. Periodical readjustments in the focus of foreign policy rhetoric led the Kazakhstani regime to reshape the identity of the population, in order to promote forms of self-perception almost exclusively associable with the leadership that ruled the country in the post-Soviet era. Identity-…

Integrating domestic politics and foreign policy making
Matters of domestic political consideration exerted a major influence on the processes of foreign policy making established and developed by the authoritarian leaderships of post-Soviet Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. The preservation of internal authoritarian stability and the political survival of the national regimes have therefore constituted the key foreign policy ends set by decision makers in Ashgabat and Tashkent. This article unveils and di…
