SUMMARY:Ethnic Divisions and Ensuring Stability in Kazakhstan: A Guide for 
 U.S. Policy
DESCRIPTION:With Russia bogged down in its war in Ukraine\, speculation has
  increased that its influence may be waning in Kazakhstan and other former
  Soviet states in Central Asia. Russia retains a significant cultural\, po
 litical\, and security role in Kazakhstan\, while the country’s other gr
 eat power neighbor\, China\, has taken an increasingly large economic role
 . Kazakhstan has ably managed potential ethnic tensions since the fall of 
 the Soviet Union by maintaining a multiethnic national identity and protec
 ting the rights of its sizable Russian minority. How can the United States
  best engage with Kazakhstan without upsetting these delicate balances? A 
 new QI brief from research fellow Suzanne Loftus addresses this question. 
  To discuss these issues and the recommendations in her brief\, Suzanne wi
 ll be joined by Nargis Kassenova\, Senior Fellow and Director of the Progr
 am on Central Asia at the Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies at
  Harvard University\; and Nurseit Niyazbekov\, Assistant Professor in the 
 Department of International Relations at KIMEP University in Almaty\, Kaza
 khstan.
