 Kazakhstan: Progress and Its ParadoxesAlikhan Baimenov (), Maxut Uteshev () and Gulimzhan Suleimenova () Chapter Chapter 7 in Public Service Evolution in the 15 Post-Soviet Countries, 2022, pp 199-249 from Springer Abstract: Abstract Over the past three decades, Kazakhstan has come a long way in its socio-economic and political transformation. The country has made tangible progress in certain areas, reflected in international indices; and less in others, primarily in the fight against corruption and ensuring the rule of law. Undoubtedly, these contradictory trends have an impact on the quality of governance and the effectiveness of civil service reform. The chapter introduces the model of dynamic concentric spheres in visualising the limitations and corridors of opportunities determined by the political, administrative, and operational-technological systems, as well as their mutual influence. The chapter also analyses the milestones of civil service development of the country; an area for which Kazakhstan is recognised as a regional leader. Along with these achievements, the chapter also reflects on the challenges that the Kazakhstani civil service still faces in the fields of strategic human resource management, implementation of the principles of meritocracy, civil servants’ motivation, anti-corruption, and efficiency improvement.
