About this book

This book joins the discussion on foreign aid triggered by the rise of multiplicity of emerging donors in international development and explores the transformation of Kazakhstan from a recipient country to a development aid provider.

Drawing on fieldwork in Nur-Sultan and Almaty (Kazakhstan) between 2016 and 2019, this research evaluates the philosophy and core features of Kazakhstan’s chosen development aid model and explains the factors that account for the construction of aid patterns of Kazakh donorship. This book will be of interest to scholars of Central Asia and the emerging politics of Eurasia as well as scholars of politics and aid.

Reviews

“Modernity, Development and Decolonization of Knowledge in Central Asia. Kazakhstan as a Foreign Aid Provider adds a discussion of Kazakhstani aid, a neglected topic, to the scholarly discourse on foreign aid. Nafissa Insebayeva explores Kazakhstan’s transition from a recipient country to a development aid provider. In doing so, she examines how Kazakhstan has constructed its development aid model, assessing its philosophy and main features … . I highly recommend the book” (Lamine Balde, Europe-Asia Studies, August 31, 2023)
