metadata.value: The authors discuss the features of protests in Kazakhstan and identify their factors and causes.
  The analysis of the content of the sociological surveys, the posts on the social networks,
  the web sides and blogs of Kazakhstan’s top officials enabled the authors to establish the issues
  of social and economic nature that are the most probable triggers of protests. The authors
  conceptualize their root causes as a discrepancy between the articulated goals of modernization
  and poor performance of the public administration responsible for their implementation.
  The authors’ analysis goes beyond the changes of protest behavior and includes the responses
  of the state organs and the role of the Internet. Further, the article provides a typology of the
  protests occurred in Kazakhstan and deals with their scale and scope. The article also touches
  upon the means employed by the state to diffuse social tensions and the respective role of civil
  society institutions, which is argued to be insufficient. The authors conclude that the protests
  in Kazakhstan are spatially and topically limited, as is their destructive potential. Kazakhstan
  shall not anticipate massive protest actions due to the impact of the currently implemented
  social and economic reforms, commitment of the majority of its citizens to maintenance of
  political stability and their fear of possible destructive consequences, as well as the lack of any
  organized political force capable of transforming public discontent into political actions and
  underdevelopment of civil society.
