'Foreign Policy Formation in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan: Perceptions and Expert Assessments,'

• Rafis Abazov, 'Foreign Policy Formation in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan: Perceptions and Expert Assessments,' CERC Working Papers, no. 4 (2000), 62 pp. Aus$9.50 (Australian orders), Aus$12.00 (international orders) (includes postage and GST).

  This paper assesses the perceptions of foreign policy issues by Central Asian foreign policy experts and practitioners, focusing on the decision-making process in the region. The author argues that there has been a considerable shift in the policy-making proces,s as the political and economic base of the former Soviet nomenklatura has been eroded and as political institutions have been restructured following independence. The paper provides a brief historical review of social and political changes in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan in the late twentieth century, as well as an overview of the major variables affecting post-Soviet foreign policy formation in the Central Asian Republics. It includes presentation of the findings of a 1999 survey conducted on this issue among foreign policy experts and policy practitioners in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan.
