Against the backdrop of its mineral wealth, Kazakhstan has been touted a Central Asian tiger state. In contrast to most other Central Asian countries, it was able to evade civil war and large-scale bloodshed and to assume a leadership position which won international recognition and respect. At the same time, the country could not evade the global financial crisis and its human rights record is far from being immaculate. This volume analyses the economic, political and social dynamic of modern Kazakhstan as seen by insiders and Western experts. Their opinions converge on the assumption that there are hard times ahead but that Kazakhstan has the potential to weather the storm.

Viktor Khrapounov, ancien maire d'Almaty, ex-ministre de l'energie du Kazakhstan, est contraint desormais a l'exil. Depuis la Suisse ou il reside, il dresse un puissant requisitoire sur les vingt ans de regne de Noursoultan Nazarbaev, ce jeune et dynamique president devenu, au fil des annees, un vieux dictateur ruse et impitoyable. Privatisation abusive des richesses du pays enfouies dans ses sols, corruption a grande echelle, etouffement des libertes, elimination d'opposants politiques, intrigues de palais et culte de la personnalite, Khrapounov raconte Nazarbaev sans tabou. Et si le public occidental en sait si peu, c'est parce que le pouvoir kazakh jouit de la duplicite de moult gouvernements et multinationales. Des chefs d'Etat, parmi lesquels Nicolas Sarkozy et Francois Hollande, s'empressent de derouler le tapis rouge devant ce leader d'apparence joviale, vise pendant des annees par la justice de plusieurs pays pour avoir recu des pots-de-vin somptueux en echange de juteux contrats. A travers un recit haletant, l'auteur nous plonge dans les realites de ce pays lointain et mysterieux qu'est le Kazakhstan, et nous permet de mieux comprendre ce qu'il s'est passe dans le monde post-sovietique depuis l'eclatement de l'URSS en 1991.
