FOREWORD

KIMEP University is a non-profit institution of higher education. Its mission is to develop well-educated citizens, to foster development and innovation in the country, and to improve the quality of life for all of its citizens. Vigorous, serious academic research is an integral part of this mission.

KIMEP University is one of the largest and the most prominent Western-style Universities across the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), offering North American-style credit-based graduate and undergraduate degrees. Its programs cover a wide variety of disciplines in business, the social sciences, law, and languages, and comply with international norms and standards. It is comprised of three degree-awarding academic units: the Bang College of Business (BCB), the College of Social Sciences (CSS), the School of Law and the Language Center.

The world-class quality of KIMEP University’s programs has won recognition from a variety of internationally-credible accreditation agencies. All undergraduate and graduate degree programs have international accreditation from Agency for Quality Assurance and Accreditation Austria (AQ Austria). The undergraduate and graduate programs in the Bang College of Business also have full accreditation from the Asian Forum on Business Education (AFBE), and the Executive MBA program is accredited by the Federation for International Business Administration Accreditation (FIBAA). In the College of Social Sciences, the undergraduate and graduate programs in Public Administration also have full accreditation from the European Agency for Public Administration Accreditation, while the undergraduate and graduate programs in Journalism and Mass Communications are fully accredited by the American Communications Association (ACA).

In addition to its teaching mission, KIMEP University also serves as a think tank and center for academic dialogue and exchange. KIMEP University aims to support applied scholarship, with an emphasis on close cooperation with the public, private and non-profit sectors, as well as with other higher education institutions. The Central Asian Studies Center, based at the College of Social Sciences, and the Central Asian Tax Research Center, based at the School of Law, are at the forefront of scholarly investigation and exchange in their fields. KIMEP University’s faculty contains the highest proportion in the CIS of holders of terminal degrees from Western universities, and the faculty’s broad worldview, dedication, and academic expertise allow them to make contributions not only in Almaty but across the country and around the world.

It is my pleasure to present the fourth issue of the KIMEP Research Bulletin. The Bulletin will introduce you to the diverse research interests among our faculty, and give an idea of what projects are currently being pursued.

I believe that this publication would be of a great help to all people who are enthusiastic about developing a genuine culture of research in Kazakhstan.

Yours sincerely,

Chan Young Bang, PhDPresident of KIMEP University

MESSAGE FROM THE VICE PRESIDENT OF STRATEGIC PLANNING, DEVELOPMENT AND RESEARCH

This Research Bulletin provides insight into KIMEP University’s robust and growing engagement in scholarly research. It is intended for our many diverse stakeholders: students and professors both at KIMEP and elsewhere, external partners in the public, private, and non-profit sectors, and the general public.

Faculty members are engaged in a wide array of scholarly activities, and the information contained herein will help to suggest opportunities for collaborative research, as well as serve to keep the public informed about our output.

KIMEP is strengthening its reputation as an influential nexus of scholarly research. We promote quality research to meet the criteria on faculty scholarly activities set by the various accreditation agencies. Reinforcing its research output over the next few years, KIMEP will enhance its reputation as a center for scholarly exchange not only in Kazakhstan and across Central Asia, but also with partners around the world.

Collaborative research, interdisciplinary studies, and extramural consulting and advising works are strongly encouraged in this regard, and these efforts will enable us to deliver on the core mission of KIMEP to generate meaningful engagement beyond the institution with the wider world. I invite you to review the Bulletin, and hope that you find the research by our faculty interesting and inspiring.

Yours sincerely,
