Kazakhstan 1995: The Public Speaks, an Analysis of National Public Opinion
This paper examines the role of the public in contemporary society and analyzes public opinion in Kazakhstan. This analysis of Kazakhstan's opinion environment can provide insights into the changes currently taking place in the country and yield indicators on the extent of public engagement in the transformation process of an emerging independent state. Findings are based on a public opinion survey the International Foundation for Electoral Systems (IFES) commissioned in Kazakhstan. Personal interviews were conducted between July 9 and 29, 1995. This was the first such survey undertaken by IFES and is part of the voter education program currently underway in Kazakhstan. The nationwide survey was designed in consultations with U.S. electoral specialists and American and Kazakhstani professionals. It measured public opinion about political and economic developments, the performance of the government, civic and political organizations, and participatory democracy. The last was probed in detail, exploring the public’s understanding of and attitudes towards elections and candidates. The design of the sample (multi-stage, stratified probability) ensured that respondents represented the adult national population of Kazakhstan. The data, therefore, accurately represent the feelings and opinions of the population of Kazakhstan as a whole.
