Kanye West è uno dei tanti vip internazionali che ha compreso il talento del tiranno. L'elenco è lunghissimo. In questo episodio scoprirai, inoltre, che il tiranno è poliamoroso con la politica del Belpaese. Parafrasando Giambruno, ha unito in un threesome la destra e la sinistra italiana. Il tiranno oscilla tra party hard e diplomazia internazionale, Casa Bianca e vita da narcos, è un Frankenstein col cervello di Stalin e il fegato di Bukowski. Secondo episodio della saga kazaka.

Nursultan Nazarbayev served as President of Kazakhstan from 1991 until 2019. He remained a backseat driver until last year, when Kazakhstan's biggest protests in decades finally put an end to Nazarbayev's 35-year rule. Nazarbayev oversaw his country's transition to independence and capitalism, and established strong relations with the United States and China. Temporarily at least, he established some semblance of order over a country many denied was coherent enough to survive, given that ethnic Russians actually outnumbered Kazakhs at the country's founding. On the other hand, Nazarbayev had a record in elections most dictators can only dream of, winning his last election with 98% of the vote, and jailing and murdering opposition figures with increasing passion as his rule progressed. He also maintained close relations with Russia, a friendship that has now come under unprecedented strain following Russia's invasion of another one of its neighbours. My guest for this episode is Joanna Lillis. Joanna is a British journalist who has lived in Kazakhstan since 2005, and writes principally for The Economist and Eurasianet. Joanna is also the author of recently published Dark Shadows, which examines Kazakhstan's independent history.

For decades, the Communist regime in Cuba has sold an image of a nation with high human development, boosted by its alleged world class healthcare system and education. However, reality tells a story of coercion, lies, and misery. The case of the Cuban dictatorship is not unique. Other regimes have positioned themselves as having achieved commendable levels of development: Chile under Pinochet, Kazakhstan under Nazarbayev, and numerous others. In this episode, economic historian and Assistant Professor at George Mason University Vincent Geloso discusses how authoritarianism is a poor vehicle for development, and how an expansion of rights and democracy has been a driving force behind the improvement in the lives of billions over the past century.

This week we take a look at a new probe into the death of the Kazakh opposition leader in 2005. The Kazakh president stepping down. Nazarbayev being stripped of his titles. A report finally being released on bride kidnapping. A new controversial eco-city. The Kyrgyz president intervening in court cases. More clashes along the Uzbek border. The Uzbek foreign minister stepping down after his comments on Ukraine, and more COVID troubles in Turkmenistan. We also take a deep dive into Russia's recruitment of Central Asian citizens for its war in Ukraine.  Joining us this week: - Sher Khashimov (Freelance Journalist) Follow the show on @SLonCentralAsia For more info please visit - www.oxussociety.org

From early January of this year Kazakhstan was rocked by a wave of protests.   They started in Zhanaozen over fuel price hikes but soon spread all over the country. The initial demands –economic reforms and regime change –were overshadowed by looting and violence. It's been reported that 225 people lost their lives in the bloodshed, although the real number might be higher.   This new episode of Trouble with the Truth explores what happened in Kazakhstan during the protests. We take a look at the vast property empire of the Nazaebayev's family and its links to the crisis.   Journalist Madina Alimkhanova talks about her experience reporting from the street in Almaty during the protests and the attacks she faced. Regional expert Erica Marat discusses the underlying causes of the unrest, the potential power struggle between the former and the current presidents and the dangers of inviting foreign troops to handle a domestic crisis. Journalist and activist Lukhpan Akhmedyarov, who was imprisoned during the protests, talks about the role of agent provocateurs and how the latest crisis in Kazakhstan might benefit president Putin.

“Türkiye'nin de Kazakistan'dan alacağı bir ders var: Otoriter başkanlık sistemi demokrasiden uzak, yönetme kapasitesi olmayan ve ülkeleri ekonomik felaketlere sürükleyen bir çıkmaz” diye yazmıştı Londra Üniversitesi'nden Gül Berna Özcan 2019 yılında Kazakistan halkı, ülkenin zengin kaynaklarını dar çevresiyle çarçur etmekte olan Devlet Başkanı Nazarbayev'e “yeter” demek üzere ekonomik ve siyasi taleplerle sokağa çıktığında. O protestolar ertesinde “kurucu lider” Nazarbayev, ülkeyi perde arkasından yönetmeye devam etmek üzere koltuğunu Kasım Cömert Tokayev'e bırakmıştı. 2022'nin ilk günlerinde, Kazaklar bir kez daha benzer taleplerle sokağa çıktılar. Fakat isyanları saray içi büyük bir iktidar savaşının gölgesinde kaldı. Tokayev, Rusya'nın da desteğiyle Nazarbayev'in saltanatına son vermek istiyor. Başarabilecek mi? Ve olayların başından beri hiç ortalarda görünmeyen Nazarbayev nerede? Bu yayında, bu iki sorunun yanıtına odaklandım.

As the Russian Troops shocked many observers by pulling out from Kazakhstan, the FPA hosted Nina Khrushcheva, New School professor and grand-daughter of Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev, to discuss the local and global implications of the affair with FPA President who had previously worked in the country. It was clear that the foreign interference was conjured up but the authorities in Russia and Khazakhstan and that there were plenty of reasons for locals to protest, but also a strong suspicion that clan supporters of the previous avaricious strongman Nazarbayev, worried about being sidelined by his replacement, were implicated in the violence. Getting Nazarbayev's hand out of the till is a step forward, even though no one is sure where he is now, but he was masterful at balancing domestic and geopolitical influences. The cloud of uncertainty will spread across the region, with global implications.

We speak to Prof. Steve Hanke, a former chief advisor to ex-Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev and a former senior economist in President Ronald Reagan's Council of Economic Advisors. He discusses the causes of the protests in Kazakhstan that have seen the deaths of over 160 protesters in crackdowns by the government and why inflation is likely not one of them, his time as an advisor to Nazarbayev and his views on economic policies undertaken by successive Kazakh governments, his opposition to US sanctions and why he believes they don't work, and much more. Finally, we speak to Dr. Edward Luttwak, a US military strategist. He discusses the accusations by Bolivia of the US plotting a coup against socialist President Luis Arce, the Ukraine crisis and why an invasion of Ukraine by Russian President Vladimir Putin is unlikely, the 2011 Libya intervention by NATO which ended in disaster, Russia's support for Syria and what it reveals about Putin's modus operandi for geopolitics, and much more!

US and Russia Hold Urgent Meeting to Discuss Ukraine,  Russian Troops Sent to Kazakhstan, US Announces it Will take 'Very High level'  Sanctions on Russia  if Russian Troops Invade Ukraine.Rhett and David at it again!  Enjoy the show as retired US Diplomat to 5 different nations  David Hunter shares his knowledge, passion, interest, and experience. 1)  US and Russia Hold Urgent Meeting to Discuss Ukraine:  Wendy Sherman, US Deputy Secretary of State , met Monday in Geneva w/ her Russian counterpart to discuss Ukraine.  Putin has made demands that NATO openly declare it will not extend membership to Ukraine, something US and NATO members reject.   Putin has 100,000 troops staged at the border of Ukraine to make his point. US  Secretary of State  Tony Blinken said there will be no 'conditions' or 'concessions' and severe sanctions would follow any Russian aggression.  What do you think will happen?2) Russian Troops Sent to Kazakhstan:  This week the Russians under terms of the CSTO joint military alliance sent  3000  troops to Kazakhstan, at the request of Kazakh  President Tokayev.  The President was hand-picked by old dictator  Nazarbayev   who ruled from 1989 till 2019 with an iron hand and had close relations to Moscow.  He left in 2019 following anti gov. protests.   But Nazarbayev who now serves as head of the Security Council, was just removed.  And people on the street are fed up with both Nazarbayev and the new President and want more democracy.  What is going on?  3) US Announces it Will take 'Very High level'  Sanctions on Russia  if Russian Troops Invade Ukraine:  The US  has announced it will 'start high, and stay high' in sanctions measures.  It will restrict the Russian oligarchs that support Putin,  cut off high technology exports, and most importantly, cut Russia off from the international banking payments system SWIFT, like we did with Iran.   Will it work?   

An online discussion hosted by the Central Asia Program at George Washington University and co-sponsored with the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, the Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies, the Oxus Society for Central Asian Affairs, and RFE/RL on January 10, 2022. The riots that erupted on January 5, 2021 in Almaty and then spread to Kazakhstan's other cities have taken the government by surprise, but signals of unrest were present since Nazarbayev left the presidency in 2019. The dismissal of the Cabinet, the removal of Nazarbayev from the Security Council presidency, the storm of the Parliament and the Almaty airport, as well as police violence will, without a doubt, mark a turning point in the history of Kazakhstan. At a more geopolitical level, the impact will be decisive too, as the CSTO has, for the first time in its history, sent peacekeeping troops at President Tokayev's request. Who are the protesters? What do they want? What are the genuine grassroots aspects and the instrumentalization of popular resentment by some elites for internal struggles? How can the regime survive such clashes? What will be the regional impact of the crisis in what was until then the most stable and prosperous country of Central Asia? SPEAKERS Merkhat Sharipzhanov, RFE/RL's Sr. Central Newsroom Correspondent, former Director of Kazakh Service; Temur Umarov, Research Consultant at Carnegie Moscow Center; Pauline Jones, Professor of Political Science and Director of the Digital Islamic Studies Curriculum at the University of Michigan (UM); Barbara Junisbai, Associate Professor of Organizational Studies, Pitzer College; Nargis Kassenova, Senior Fellow and Director of the Program on Central Asia at the Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies (Harvard University); Moderator: Marlene Laruelle, Director and Research Professor, the Institute for European, Russian and Eurasian Studies (IERES), The George Washington University.

Nel Paese asiatico ricco di risorse ma pieno di abitanti poveri, l'aumento dei prezzi del gpl ha fatto esplodere la rivolta che il governo non ha esitato a reprimere con la violenza: più di 160 morti e 2.000 feriti, oltre 8.000 persone arrestate. Francesco Battistini racconta questa crisi, in cui ancora una volta la Russia sta svolgendo un ruolo decisivo, come spiega la ricercatrice Eleonora Tafuro Ambrosetti dell'Istituto per gli studi di politica internazionale.Per altri approfondimenti:- Kazakistan, che fine ha fatto il clan Nazarbayev? https://bit.ly/3ngvXFY- L'oppositore in esilio Ablyazov: “Hanno gettato la maschera e mandato in strada i cecchini” https://bit.ly/33r2e64- La scrittrice Erika Fatland: “I giovani nati dopo il crollo sovietico vogliono benessere” https://bit.ly/3fbnJKD

Bugün, son gelişmeler ışığında Kazakistan'da dünden bugüne yaşananları bir göz atacağız. Kazakistan'daki olayların basındaki yansımasını izliyorum. Batı basını "canavar Nazarbayev" rejimini hedefe koyan röportajlar çekiyor. Batıya hayran ayran budalası bizdeki sahte muhalifler de Kazakistan'daki harekete alkış tutuyor. Birileri de Rusya ve Amerika el ele , Kazakistan'ı işgal ediyor gibi bir zırvalığı öne çıkarıyor. Birileri 'Yoksul halk zamları protesto ederken araya kafa uçuran ağır silahlı birileri girdi' diyor. Evet aynen öyle oldu! Lpg zamlarına karşı çıkan sıradan vatandaş yokluk ve yoksulluğa karşı yürüdü. 24 saat geçmeden Kazakistan Hükumeti gelmekte olanı fark edip zamları geri çekti ve istifa etti ama oluk oluk kan akmaya başladı ve ağır silahlar ortaya çıkmaya başladı. Olaylar başka bir noktaya evrildi. Dünyanın ve Orta Asya'nın en stratejik noktalarından birinde yaşanan olayları, ara ara geçmişe de dönerek özetlemeye çalıştık... İyi seyirler...

El domingo 2 de enero se produjeron en varias ciudades de Kazajistán una serie de protestas de carácter pacífico contra el Gobierno de Kasim-Jomart Tokaev, presidente del país desde 2019. Dos días más tarde esas protestas llegaron hasta Almaty, la ciudad más grande del país, y comenzaron los incidentes violentos. La causa del malestar no es política, sino económica. Los manifestantes protestan por el repentino incremento de precio en el gas en pleno invierno, un combustible fundamental en Kazajistán que, como la vecina Rusia, depende de él para calentarse. El Gobierno de Tokaev trató de sofocar las protestas sacando al ejército a la calle y reprimiendo con dureza a los manifestantes, pero consiguió exactamente lo contrario. Las manifestaciones se tornaron aún más violentas. Los manifestantes se las apañaron para ocupar algunos edificios oficiales e interrumpir el tráfico en el aeropuerto de Almaty. El presidente, completamente superado por los acontecimientos, cesó a todos sus ministros y ordenó por decreto una bajada en el precio del gas y la gasolina. Pero ya era tarde, los manifestantes en ese momento estaban pidiendo democracia y que se acabe el régimen de Tokaev, sucesor de Nursultan Nazarbayev, que se retiró hace un par de años después de tres décadas en el cargo. Nazarbayev sigue, de cualquier modo, rigiendo los destinos del país y manejando los hijos tras las bambalinas. Las protestas en Kazajistán hicieron saltar en el acto todas las alarmas en Moscú. Vladimir Putin, que aún no se ha replegado completamente de la frontera con Ucrania corrió en ayuda de Tokaev enviando soldados al país para estabilizar la situación con la coartada de la minoría rusa que vive en Kazajistán. Este país es un Estado cliente ruso. Son muchos los vínculos que unen a Rusia con Kazajistán, tanto de tipo económico como político. Kazajistán ocupa el centro mismo de Asia y es un país muy extenso en el que se encuentra el cosmódromo de Baikonur y que produce una considerable cantidad de petróleo. Putin simplemente no puede permitir que un lugar así se ponga por su cuenta y se aleje de la órbita rusa. Eso es, en definitiva, lo que ha ocasionado esta intervención de año nuevo.

After a week of violent anti-government protests in Kazakhstan's main city, Almaty, President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev says that stability is returning to the country. The protestors were angry not just with the current government but also with the former President Nursultan Nazarbayev. Mr Tokayev tried to diffuse the situation by stripping Mr Nazarbayev of his remaining powers. Also in the programme: Dozens of people are reported to have been killed in an airstrike on a camp for the displaced in the Tigray region in Northern Ethiopia; and the latest on the controversy surrounding the tennis star, Novak Djokovic, who remains in an Australian detention centre after his Covid-19 vaccine exemption was revoked. (Photo:Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev chairs a meeting of the emergency in Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan. Credit: Reuters).

Police and soldiers have "essentially" restored order across Kazakhstan, President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev declared on Friday. "The local authorities control the situation, but terrorists are still using weapons and damaging people's property. That is why counterterrorist actions will continue until the complete destruction of the militants," Tokayev said at a meeting on January 7 with the nation's law enforcement heads.

Demonstrations began in Kazakhstan on January 2 in response to suddenly doubled fuel prices. After three days of protests and increasingly violent clashes with police, President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev fired his government cabinet, restored price controls, and declared a state of emergency in three different regions. But the protests have continued. Beginning early on January 5, demonstrators started trying to seize control of administration buildings in major cities.

Nel settembre 2013, il presidente cinese Xi Jinping ha annunciato la sua visione strategica per la Nuova Via della Seta, meglio conosciuta come "Belt & Road Initiative" (BRI) durante un discorso all'Università Nazarbayev nella capitale kazaka che allora si chiamava ancora Astana. Questa iniziativa prevede il completamento di più di 100 progetti di infrastrutture su piccola e larga scala - strade, ferrovie, oleodotti, parchi industriali e zone economiche speciali - che puntano a migliorare i collegamenti tra Cina con Europa occidentale principalmente attraverso l'Asia centrale. I cinque stati dell'Asia centrale - Kazakistan, Kirghizistan, Tagikistan, Turkmenistan e Uzbekistan - sono un importante centro geografico del progetto.

Joanna Lillis’ Dark Shadows, Inside the Secret World of Kazakhstan (I. B. Tauris, 2018) takes the reader on a penetrating, colourfully written journey into the recesses of a little known Central Asian nations on the frontier of tectonic shifts across Eurasia. Kazakhstan, a sparsely populated oil-rich former Soviet republic that shares borders with Russia and China that stretch thousands of kilometres, in which demographics amount to geopolitics, walks a tight rope in a world increasingly dominated by leaders who to varying degrees define their states in civilizational rather than national terms. Russia’s annexation of Crimea and stirring of unrest in two regions of Ukraine coupled with veiled threats uttered by Russian President Vladimir Putin raise the spectre of Kazakhstan’s worst nightmares. China’s brutal crackdown on Turkic Muslims, including ethnic Kazakhs, in its troubled north-western province of Xinjiang fuels long-standing public suspicion of Chinese ambitions and put the government between a rock and a hard place. Led for almost three decades until he recently stepped down, former Communist party boss Nursultan Nazarbayev has moulded Kazakhstan in his image: an authoritarian state with some trappings of democracy that increasingly are being curtailed. Lillis paints a compelling picture of a nation that is still grappling with the consequences of Joseph Stalin’s devastating disruption of its demography and identity as it seeks forge its path in a post-Nazarbayev era against the backdrop of big power jockeying for influence in the heart of Eurasia. With the keen eye of a journalistic fly on the wall and the ability to turn words into images, Lillis portrays a strategically important country at the crossroads of geopolitics that are likely to shape an emerging new world order.

*)Four killed on first day of ‘civil disobedience’ in Sudan A doctors’ committee linked to the protests in Sudan said four people were killed on Sunday as troops moved to quell a civil disobedience campaign. Opposition groups had called a general strike for the start of the workweek, demanding justice and civilian rule. Talks between protest leaders and military rulers broke down after security forces raided a sit-in, killing dozens last week. *)Hong Kong leader signals extradition bill will go forward Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam said her government will go ahead with the amendments to extradition laws despite a massive protest against them. Thousands of people marched through Hong Kong on Sunday in what appeared to be the largest protest there in several years. The proposed legislation allows extraditions to the Chinese mainland, heightening fears of China's reach in the semi-autonomous territory. *)Incumbent Tokayev wins Kazakh presidential vote Kazakhstan elected ex-President Nazarbayev’s hand-picked successor Kassym Jomart-Tokayev amid a police crackdown on opposition protesters. The interior ministry said around 500 people were detained during the demonstrations. The protesters claim the vote was an orchestrated handover of power from a longtime president to his chosen successor. *)Iceland greets Turkey’s national football team with racism “Racist”, “rude”, “disrespectful” and “offensive”. This is how players and fans described Iceland airport officials’ treatment of Turkey’s football team. The team is in Iceland to play a Euro 2020 qualifying fixture. The players said they were held at the airport for three hours and the entourage’s bags were searched. And finally, *)Nadal adds to his record with 12th title Rafael Nadal added to his record with a 12th French Open title by beating Dominic Thiem. Only one man in recent history, Bjorn Borg with six, has even half as many Roland Garros titles as Nadal. Thiem, meanwhile, is still seeking his first Grand Slam title.

Patronage is often described as the ‘glue’ that binds Central Asian patronal presidents and elites, creating strong material incentives to uphold the political status quo. With one hand, the president rewards loyal elites, giving them access to ‘the fruits of office’ and other valued resources; with the other, the president punishes wayward elites, taking away whatever benefits they have accumulated and closing off access to future ones. Yet, material conceptions of patronage-based rule are incomplete without consideration of norms–the rules and expectations governing ‘who gets what, how’ and how much. As a routinized practice, patronage entails a ‘mutual promise-keeping’: just as elites agree to comport themselves according to expectations, the president promises to do the same, enforcing patronage norms as needed. Presidential legitimacy depends in large part on how well he is able to satisfy the demands of those closest to him (patronage norm #1: differential access) while also meeting his obligations to the broader set of elites whose support he depends upon to stay in power (patronage norm #2: fair play). To do otherwise not only risks alienating a broad swath of elites, but is also likely to make the president appear weak and ineffective, a ruler who is controlled by his inner circle rather than in control of it. The cases of President Nazarbayev of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan under President Karimov illustrate the argument.

In this edition of Wilson Center NOW we are joined by Maria Blackwood, Title VIII Research Scholar at the Kennan Institute.  She explains the motivations behind the relocation of Soviet Kazakhstan’s capital three times in that nation’s first decade of existence. Blackwood also discusses the abrupt resignation of President Nazarbayev after almost thirty years in power and the subsequent decision to rename the capital of Astana in his honor.

On today's episode of Loud & Clear, Brian Becker and John Kiriakou are joined by João Rodríguez, a Brazilian activist who is currently a doctoral candidate in sociology at the University of Pennsylvania.Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro arrived in Washington yesterday in his first foreign visit since being elected and he went almost immediately to CIA headquarters for consultations. He was accompanied by his son and by Brazil’s Minister of Justice, who has long been accused of having ties to the CIA. Today, he went to the White House to meet with President Trump. Special Counsel Robert Mueller revealed today that he had sought search warrants for Trump attorney Michael Cohen’s records in July 2017, far earlier than previously revealed. His investigators went through those records before referring them to prosecutors in the Southern District of New York. Meanwhile, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein announced that he would be staying in his role longer than expected, and anticipation builds over the final release of the Mueller report. Daniel Lazare, a journalist and author of three books—“The Frozen Republic,” “The Velvet Coup,” and “America's Undeclared War,” joins the show. 74 cities, 65 counties, and four tribal areas in Nebraska declared states of emergency today following massive floods caused by days of heavy rain and snowmelt. Nebraska has seen three deaths so far, but waters are raging in 14 other midwest states, affecting more than eight million people. At least 200 miles of levees have been compromised and thousands of people have been driven from their homes. Brian and John speak with Craig Sterle, the president of the Minnesota Division of the Izaak Walton League of America, which works to conserve, restore, and promote the sustainable use and enjoyment of our natural resources, including soil, air, woods, waters, and wildlife. Kazakhstan’s President Nursultan Nazarbayev, who has ruled the country since the fall of the Soviet Union 30 years ago, resigned this morning. He said that the speaker of the upper house of parliament, Kassym Jomart-Tokayev, will serve out the remainder of his term. Nazarbayev sacked the entire government several weeks ago because of the weak economy. Mark Sleboda, an international affairs and security analyst, joins the show. Israel’s Justice Minister, Ayelet Shaked, is out with one of the most controversial election commercials we have ever seen. Shaked is a member of a far-right political party called The New Right. The black-and-white commercial shows Shaked putting on a fancy dress and earrings, and then spritzing herself with a perfume called “Fascism.” She then looks at the camera and says, “To me it smells like democracy.” But the Israeli media says the ad may backfire. All Israelis see is their Justice Minister dousing herself in fascism. Miko Peled, the author of the books “The General’s Son - A Journey of an Israeli in Palestine” and "Injustice: The Story of the Holy Land Foundation Five,” joins Brian and John. Tuesday’s weekly series is False Profits—A Weekly Look at Wall Street and Corporate Capitalism with Daniel Sankey. Brian and John speak with financial policy analyst Daniel Sankey.Today’s regular segment that airs every Tuesday is called Women & Society with Dr. Hannah Dickinson. This weekly segment is about the major issues, challenges, and struggles facing women in all aspects of society. Hannah Dickinson, an associate professor at Hobart and William Smith Colleges and an organizer with the Geneva Women’s Assembly, and Loud & Clear producer Nicole Roussell join the show.

Kazakhstan's President has been in power since 1991. And Nursultan Nazarbayev likely sees himself as somewhat of a popular leader. At the last election he won more than 97% of the vote. But with the country in the midst of an economic crisis, many see that result as a little unusual. Critics say Nazarbayev is becoming increasingly authoritarian, and accuse him of suppressing dissent, whether it's the media or political opposition. But at the start of the year, he surprised many by promising reforms, including devolving some of his power to the parliament. So, has there been much progress?

Jack Farchy explains why we should worry about who will succeed the presidents of Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, two septuagenarian strongmen who have ruled their central Asian countries since the break-up of the Soviet Union See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Drawing on the critical strand of literature on organisational learning (e.g. Driver 2002; McKinlay and Starkey 1998; Messer and Jordan 2008; Niesche 2011 and Thomson 2014) and taking the case of the 35 NIS partner schools, we seek to understand the role of an emerging model of organisational learning in the process of adoption of reform and innovation in Kazakhstan.
