- ACEINLAND: Modern history of Kazakhstan from World War I to today, covering all major events on politics, economy, society, and technology.
Politics
According to the constitution that came into force on September 5, 1995 (revised several times), Kazakhstan is a presidential republic. The head of state and commander-in-chief of the armed forces is the president, who has extensive powers (directly elected for 5 years, one-time re-election in direct succession possible; for the former president N. Nazarbayev In accordance with the 2007 constitutional amendment, there was no limit to the term of office). The President determines the policy guidelines and appoints the Prime Minister and, on his proposal, the other members of the Cabinet. The President has inter alia the right to dissolve parliament and initiate legislation; he can issue decrees and veto legislative resolutions. The legislature lies with the bicameral parliament, consisting of the lower house of Medschelis (legislative period 5 years, 107 members, 98 determined by proportional representation, 9 representatives of ethnic minorities) and the Senate (term of office 6 years, 47 members, 15 of which are appointed by the president).
National President from 1990 to 2019 was N. Nazarbayev . During his tenure he had expanded his powers and prevented the development of a democratic civil society. After Nazarbayev’s resignation on March 19, 2019, Kassym-Shomart Tokayev (* 1953), who, like Nazarbayev, belongs to the Nur Otan party, succeeded him. He will be confirmed in office in the presidential elections on 9 June 2019. Askar Mamim (* 1965), also a member of the Nur Otan party, has been Prime Minister since February 25, 2019.
In foreign policy, Kazakhstan tries to establish close contacts in all directions (“multi-vector policy”). Kazakhstan is a member of the OSCE, the NATO initiative Partnership for Peace and the CIS. Kazakhstan has very close ties with Russia. Since January 1st, 2015, Kazakhstan has been linked to Russia and Belarus in the Eurasian Economic Union. Relations with neighboring China are being expanded, particularly in connection with the establishment of the “New Silk Road”.
National symbols
