The Impact of Local Content Policy on Firms' Performance in Kazakhstan: Firm-level Evidence from the BEEPS Survey

The seminar series 'Internationalisation and Educational Reform in Eastern European and the Commonwealth of Independent States' is organised by the Kazakhstan programme research team as a platform for analysis, discussion and critique of the recent educational reforms in the Newly Independent nations of the former Soviet Union and its satellite states. From a variety of theoretical and methodological perspectives the questions that we invite us all to explore are: - the Russian/Soviet inheritance and how this continues to shape education policy and practice - the relationship of educational reform to the development of post independence national identity - the internationalisation of education reform, the global education space, policy 'borrowing' and the indigenisation of international practice. All are welcome!
