Kazakhstan’s Diversification from the Natural Resources Sector Strategic and Economic Opportunities Irina Heim

Series Editor Christoph Bluth Department of Peace Studies University of Bradford Bradford, UK
The transition of the countries in Euro-Asia is one of the most important developments affecting the international system since the end of the Cold War. The development of market economies after decades of central planning, the formation of new states and national identities, the creation of new, democratic institutions of state and the reintegration into the world economy poses enormous challenges. While some countries have progressed relatively well and are in the process of joining the European Union, others have experienced severe economic and social dislocations, to the point of political disintegration and armed conflicts. The Centre for Euro-Asian Studies at the University of Reading is dedicated to the academic study of the political, economic, social and cultural aspects of this process. This series presents the most recent contributions from leading academics in the field. With an interdisciplinary focus, it seeks to provide a substantial, original and ongoing contribution to our understanding of the region which is of vital importance for academics and of high policy relevance for governments and businesses.
