Description: This monograph reviews the development and future prospects of independent Kazakhstan, a major Caspian oil supplier, and explores its politics and the national economy, with particular attention to the energy sector, through the prism of its uneasy but to date relatively successful independence and through an analysis of its relations with the world's most powerful geopolitical players. This book also reviews the country's oil, natural gas, electricity, and nuclear industries in detail.
