The book provides a structured analysis of the values of modern Kazakhstani society, based both on well-known classical models and on original author’s approaches. The book is based on a sociological study conducted on a national representative sample and which allowed us to describe the value portrait of Kazakhstanis taking into account the specifics of social groups and regions. The key vectors of transformation of values in Kazakhstan are identified against the backdrop of global trends and in the context of the national strategy of spiritual modernization.
The book is addressed to scientists, politicians, government and public figures, representatives of the business community, journalists, teachers and university students and is of interest to anyone who seeks to understand the complex structure of social and cultural processes in modern Kazakhstan.
