Social Research Working Papers
The KIMEP Social Research Working Papers series seeks to further the KIMEP goal of “Education to Change Society” through the promotion of original research and the generation, dissemination and discussion of new knowledge. As the principal outpost of English language scholarship in Kazakhstan, KIMEP is uniquely situated to provide leadership for the development of a critically and theoretically engaged social science research community in the Republic of Kazakhstan that articulates with broader international intellectual currents. This working paper series represents an attempt to build and cultivate high quality socially relevant works-in-progress that support KIMEP’s three fundamental and interrelated tasks:
- Research;
- Teaching and Learning;
- Knowledge dissemination and exchange.
We invite all members of our research community to KIMEP and beyond to submit working papers.
Editor: Kristopher White.
