      abstract = {The final page in the political history of the Soviet  Union was turned on March 19, 2019, when Nursultan  Nazarbayev, the last former Chairman of a Soviet Republic  who had managed to stay in power following the collapse of  USSR, unexpectedly decided to resign. This edited book  looks to analyse the political aspects of this event more  specifically by trying to understand its political  significance for the country's policies, the prospects of  democratisation, the uniqueness of the transition compared  with others that have previously occurred in the region and  how it may play an influential part in future political  transitions in this part of the world. This book will  interest scholars of authoritarian politics, scholars of  Central Asia, and those researching the Belt and Road  Initiative. Jean-François Caron is an Associate Professor  at the Department of Political Science, Nazarbayev  University, Kazakhstan.},
