Democratization and political reform have been undertaken recently in a number of states, often in response to mass public protests. Revolution and military defeat have historically also served as catalysts for regime change. Is there a different reform path for transitional countries that would support a more stable transition to lasting reform? President Nursultan Nazarbayev recently announced a comprehensive reform plan for the Republic of Kazakhstan. It aims for broad political, educational, and economic reform — while ensuring the continuity of a social safety net for the citizens, Kazakhstan's policy of tolerance for its multi-ethnic citizenry , and its pro-Western foreign policy orientation. A panel of experts will discuss President Nazarbayev's "New Reform Program" and the anticipated implications of this model of reform.
