In 2019, the Section of Kazakh Studies celebrated its 10th anniversary. It was originally part of the Department of Asian Studies, but in 2020 it was merged with the Department of Oriental Studies, which is now known as the Institute of Oriental Studies. The ongoing collaboration between our department and Kazakh universities and research institutions plays a key role in supporting our educational and therefore cultural partnership.
This book consists of articles that approach Kazakh language and culture from different aspects, such as linguistics, culture, education, and law. One article is devoted to political issues.
