Aujourd’hui, l’ancienne idéologie, vivement discutée par l’opinion publique il y a une quinzaine d’années, fait quasiment partie du passé. Il s’agit d’autoritarisme éclairé, qui a été mentionné pour la première fois, autant que je me souvienne, par l’homme et analyste politique français Alex Moskovich, le conseiller extérieur de Nursultan Nazarbaïev. A cette époque, la critique condamnait l’autoritarisme, mais la deuxième partie de l’équation, indispensable à sa compréhension, fut écartée du débat.   

Au cours des années d'indépendance, le Kazakhstan a initié et participé à la création d'un certain nombre d'organisations multinationales, mais aucune d'entre elles, sans doute, n'a donné lieu à des avis aussi contradictoires que l'Union Économique Eurasiatique (UEE). L'idée fut proposée à l'origine en mai 1994 par Noursoultan Nazarbaïev. Deux ans plus tard, un accord permettant de renforcer la coopération économique et humanitaire fut signé entre le Kazakhstan, la Biélorussie, le Kirghizistan et la Russie (le Tadjikistan rejoindra le groupe des quatre pays à ce moment-là).

Over the years of independence, Kazakhstan has initiated and participated in the creation of a number of international organizations, but none of them, perhaps, has caused such contradictory assessments as the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU). The idea was originally proposed by Nursultan Nazarbayev in May 1994. Two years later, an Agreement was signed between Kazakhstan, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan and Russia on deepening integration in the economic and humanitarian fields (Tajikistan then later joined the alliance of the four). An Integration Committee was created, headed by the First Deputy Prime Minister of Kazakhstan Nigmatzhan Isingarin.

L'anniversaire de Noursoultan Nazarbaïev est l’occasion de se rappeler pourquoi il a dirigé avec succès le pays pendant trois décennies. Le Kazakhstan est l'un des rares États post-soviétiques à avoir échappé aux conflits interethniques, aux confrontations militaires, aux crises sociales, et Nazarbaïev est l'un des rares hommes politiques à ne pas avoir trouvé d’alternative crédible durant toute la durée de sa présidence. 

Aujourd'hui, s’il s’agit de faire le bilan de ce qui a été accompli, il est très facile de parler de ce qui aurait pu être mieux fait et comment. Les jeunes qui ont grandi au cours de ces dernières décennies adoptent souvent une position extrême lorsqu'ils évoquent les actions de Noursoultan Nazarbaïev.

The anniversary of Nursultan Nazarbayev is a good reason to remember why he successfully ruled the country for three decades. Kazakhstan is one of the few post-Soviet states that has escaped interethnic conflicts, military confrontations, social cataclysms, while Nazarbayev himself is one of the few politicians who, during the entire period of his presidency, did not have a worthy alternative.

Today, when there is time to assess the amount of work done, it is very easy to talk about how and what could have been done better. Young people, who have grown up in recent decades, often go to extremes when talking about the actions of Nursultan Nazarbayev.

What has the last year shown? To what extent the first president is involved in the active social and political life of Kazakhstan now?

There has been a certain evolution of relationships. Still, in Kazakhstan such a model — the presence of two presidents — was not applied, and some issues, even taking into account the experience and diplomacy of the two presidents, were worked out on the fly.

If at first the First President stepped aside, then, starting from the summer of last year, he became more active and indicated his presence, while demonstratively not pushing his powers.

En marge de la diplomatie conventionnelle, il existe toujours d’autres formes de relations par le biais desquelles la politique étrangère est mise en œuvre. Parmi elles, nous pouvons citer les opérations de type non militaire, comme celles de maintien de la paix, qui jouent un rôle essentiel. Certes, le Kazakhstan est relativement peu expérimenté en la matière, mais il peut être intéressant d’aborder ce qui a trait à celles-ci. 

In addition to the classical diplomacy, there are always additional forms within which foreign policy is implemented. Among them, the non-military-type operations stand out, and already among those, peacekeeping operations play a key role. Of course, Kazakhstan has very little experience with it so far, but I think it will be interesting to provide an informational overview of everything that is connected with them.

Nowadays, the old ideology, which was vigorously discussed by the public opinion of the country one and a half decades ago, has already been partially forgotten. It is about the enlightened authoritarianism, which was first mentioned by, if my memory serves right, French politician and political analyst Alex Moskovich, the external adviser of Nursultan Nazarbaev. At the time critics condemned authoritarianism, but the second part of the equation, without which it did not hold a meaning, was left outside of the discussion.  

The strategic Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) of China has a truly global significance and far-reaching geopolitical implications. «Belt» is the «Economic Silk Road» that links China with the Eurasian continent, Africa and the Middle East by the road, railway lines and fiber-optic communication lines by land, while «Road» is «21st Century Maritime Silk Road» that links China with distant markets and raw materials of the area between Arctic and Indian, Pacific and Atlantic oceans by water.
