I am an Associate Professor and Vice Dean for Academic Affairs at the Graduate School of Public Policy, Nazarbayev University in Astana, Kazakhstan.
My research interests include institutions and governance in authoritarian and hybrid regimes, using Central Asia as a theoretically informative setting. I study how authoritarian and hybrid regimes construct political legitimacy through nation-building, identity policies, and governance institutions.
