<p>Luca Anceschi needs little introduction as a well-published scholar of Central Asian affairs. [...] <i>Analyzing Kazakhstan’s Foreign Policy </i>provides a masterful account of the driving themes and issues with Kazakhstan’s foreign policy since its independence. - Li-Chen Sim, <em>Khalifa University, United Arab Emirates, </em><i>Journal of Asian Security and International Affairs 8(2)</i></p><p>[This book is] a very thorough analysis of the development of Kazakhstan’s leading foreign policy ideology, neo-Eurasianism, and its policy implications. [...] The author process-traces decision-making within the Kazakhstani government with great precision. Of great value are the emphasis on the nexus between foreign and domestic policies<br />and the many examples of how foreign policy has been used over the years in order to consolidate the power of the Nazarbaev regime domestically. Moreover, Anceschi explains the dynamics among the Central Asian states and how the unwillingness to limit their sovereignty hampered regional integration. The book provides not only a thorough academic study of integration processes in Central Asia, but also valuable insights into Kazakhstani decision-making processes. It can therefore be highly recommended to academics as well as decision-makers working on Central Asia, Kazakhstan and integration processes. - Anastasia Vishnevskava-Mann, <em>German Bundestag, Europe-Asia Studies 74:8</em>.</p>
