Environmental Attitudes and Impacts on Local Content Policy Formation in Kazakhstan
This project analyses state-civil society interaction and policy accountability in Kazakhstan. Specifically, the project examines how environmental attitudes across different state-civil society segments are articulated and enacted in the local content policy formation process. A comparative institutional analysis is utilised to test theories of natural resource rent extraction and circulation and their relationship to environmental and local content policies. Population surveys and key actor interviews are conducted to provide objective specific data. The environment-’local content’ focus aims to combine a number of external and internal policy factors and will reveal additional generalisable insights into state-civil society interaction in Kazakhstan.
