May This article examines the role political leadership plays in achieving good governance in Kazakhstan, a post-communist country in Central Asia. Since its withdrawal from the USSR, Kazakhstan maintains an authoritative political leadership, where President Nazarbayev, his trusted ﾓinner-circle,ﾔ and the stalwarts of the Nur Otan party effectively rule the country. Opposition political parties are weak and disorganized, and their leaders are not quite capable of mobilizing favorable public opinion. The finding of the study suggests that the Kazakhstani political leadership has limited success in achieving good governance in Kazakhstan. - Reprodu Public administration - Kazakhstan Political leadership - Kazakhstan Good governance - Kazakhstan Public administration International Journal of Public Administration N 97159 97159 97159 0 0 0 0 IIPA IIPA 2018-07-19 Volume no: 35, Issue no: 6 AR97619 2018-07-19 2018-07-19 AR
