This article examines whether Kazakhstan is a mid-power by testing it on the basis of the popular theoretical approaches to defining a middle power. Thus, the paper consists of two parts: the main theoretical approaches to defining a middle power are examined in the first part, while in the second paper each approach is applied to Kazakhstan. Three approaches to defining a middle power: by a country’s position, geography and behavior are examined in the paper. It also deals with Kazakhstan’s diplomacy in a comparative perspective in relation to the model of a middle power. The testing of the approaches to defining a middle power proves the emerging status of Kazakhstan as a middle power. The testing of «positional» and «geographical» approaches to Kazakhstan reveals that the country is a potential middle power. Analysis of the «behavioral» approach and its subsequent testing proves that Kazakhstan can be determined as a middle power.","PeriodicalId":445107,"journal":{"name":"Kazakhstan-Spectrum","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128604315","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Particular attention is paid to current international documents, as well as the work of domestic and foreign researchers in this field. The authors made an attempt to identify the main stages in the formation of the terms under study, as well as to focus on the need to develop a unified definition of the concepts under study at the present stage in order to simplify many migration issues both within the country and abroad due to environmental factors. Based on the analysis, the article concludes that the undeveloped generally accepted interpretation of the analyzed terms significantly complicates the processes of population movement due to environmentally unfavorable reasons, however, at the present stage, among the works of researchers, there are more and more publications with a review of existing problems in this area. This circumstance allows us to speak about a certain progress in the formation of a holistic definition.","PeriodicalId":445107,"journal":{"name":"Kazakhstan-Spectrum","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127756370","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The deliberative democratic concept presupposes a kind of compromise between the majority and consensus models of democracy, when political decisions are made on the basis of public discussion, in which all interested parties have the right to participate. The main criteria of the discussion are openness, reasonableness, rationalism and relevance. The article contains an analysis of the processes of formation and development of such tools for the development of deliberative democracy as electronic petitions, problems and prospects of digital political participation in modern Kazakhstan.","PeriodicalId":445107,"journal":{"name":"Kazakhstan-Spectrum","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123866263","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is worth noting that the issue of digitalization of the sphere of public administration has been studied by the authors, including through the use of the method of game theory. To this end, the article analyzed data on the digitalization of public administration in all five countries of the Central Asian region (CAR). Based on open data on the spread of innovation published by the World Bank (WB), this study was mainly focused on the GovTech indicator. We believe that in the context of the accelerated development of the economies of the countries of the region, the study of the development of digitalization in the field of public administration is of particular importance.","PeriodicalId":445107,"journal":{"name":"Kazakhstan-Spectrum","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130350139","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"LOCAL ECO-ACTIVIST’S PERSPECTIVES ON ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS ISSUES IN KAZAKHSTAN","authors":"Yernazar Kumar","doi":"10.52536/2415-8216.2022-4.04","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.52536/2415-8216.2022-4.04","url":null,"abstract":"Environmental issues in Kazakhstan are one of the most undermined research areas in Kazakhstan, particularly if we are speaking about aspects on environmental awareness. This study asked Kazakhstani eco-activists to provide their expert-rich responses to eleven open-ended questions related to environmental awareness aspects in Kazakhstan, which were divided into five sections, namely 1) degree of the environmental problem in the country; 2) reasons for the existence of the environmental problem; 3) role of the government in environmental awareness aspects; 4) the role of civil society in environmental awareness matters; and 5) solutions and prospects. For that, ten eco-activists have participated in our study, who were selected from the social media website ‘Linkedin’ via a convenience sampling method. As a data analysis, a content analysis approach was used. Our results have indicated that environmental awareness level has improved since 1990’s and numerous factors ranging from low levels of ecological literacy and environmental activism were mentioned as reasons for existence of low level of environmental awareness. By now, there are practically no empirical data on how eco-activists view, comprehend and assess environmental awareness issues in Kazakhstan. Such primary data could help share valuable insight on important policy and research aspects, namely concerning ineffectiveness of government-initiated actions, role of civil society in pro-environmental projects, studying level of awareness for government-initiated environmental programs, or policy proposals in tackling low environmental awareness levels. Thus, our research could be both valuable for researchers in filling the research gap and for practitioners in proposing viable policy alternatives to address environmental awareness issues. Despite the study’s research limitations concerning lack of international eco-activist’s focus, social-desirability-response bias and low sample size representativeness, this study recommends conducting expert interviews with NGOs (e.g. UNECE or CARECECO), reintegrate environmental concern and activism aspects as well as focus on policy solutions.","PeriodicalId":445107,"journal":{"name":"Kazakhstan-Spectrum","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131390748","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
